This model belongs to a group of Eriksen’s chairs and lounge chairs characterized by a light, open structure. The shaped armrests and slightly reclined backrest provide a comfortable and natural seating position. The frame, as seen in the photo, is made of solid teak wood—a material widely used in Danish furniture of the period due to its durability and stability.

The chair is in very good original condition. The wooden components show signs of age and use, including minor scratches. The seat and backrest are upholstered in original beige wool.

The design reflects Scandinavian modernist aesthetics—restrained but carefully refined in details such as joinery and proportions. Tapered legs and gently curved lines give the chair a light visual presence, allowing it to fit easily into different interiors without dominating the space. At the same time, its solid construction and ergonomic backrest make it suitable for everyday use, whether at a table or as a standalone piece.
