Often attributed to Henning Kjærnulf, they merge rustic tradition with refined modernism.

Each chair is built from solid European oak, with the front legs featuring hand-carved Baroque-inspired details and the rear legs sweeping upward to support a crest rail with a functional, handle-like cutout. The original striped wool upholstery in olive, cream, and charcoal is finished with brass nailhead trim, creating a subtle yet sophisticated contrast to the warm oak.

Decades of careful use have given the wood a rich natural patina, highlighting its expressive grain. Kjærnulf’s design bridges farmhouse charm and sleek urban style, making these chairs ideal for minimalist interiors or eclectic dining spaces. They remain in excellent vintage condition, showing only light, age-appropriate wear. Ready to use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
