Kjaernulf’s works reveal quality craftsmanship throughout, featuring clean Danish modern era lines with sculpted edges and shapes.

The set consists of ten chairs made of solid oak with a beautiful grain and color. Six feature the original red wool upholstery; four feature original green wool stripe. The signature "razor" ladder backs feature both straight and curved edges. The design combines this with the organicity of traditional Scandinavian style, and as a result, this set has a visually arresting and individual aesthetic. The stand-out visual appeal is provided by the slender backrests in the famous razorblade shape that is the trademark design element of the famous Danish designer, Henning Kjaernulf. The distinctive pattern also appears under the seats on the front, forming a great visual effect as a set. The details, such as the joinery and woodworking reveal the high quality craftsmanship of the Scandinavian manufacturer.
