this model — less widely seen than the celebrated "razorblade" but equally characteristic of kjærnulf's singular design language — features three sweeping, wave-form carved back slats that ripple between the uprights with a fluid, almost calligraphic energy, crowned by a broader sculptural top rail. Together they create a back that is organic, visually arresting, and unmistakably kjærnulf. The scalloped seat apron and the faceted, turned front legs further demonstrate his mastery of fusing baroque decorative craft with mid-century structural directness. Every element is carved from solid, beautifully grained quarter-sawn oak throughout.

the seats carry new beige bouclé upholstery, professionally applied and in excellent unworn condition — a current, high-demand textile that makes this set ready to place immediately. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
