Each back sweeps in a graceful curve and rounds forward at the sides, creating an embracing, almost horseshoe-shaped silhouette. The rear legs continue upward in a fluid line to support the backrest, giving the chairs an especially elegant profile from every angle. The upholstered seats are recessed within the frames, leaving a substantial border of richly finished wood visible on all four sides - another distinctive detail that adds to their tailored, architectural quality. Slender tapered front legs complete the design.

With their fluid lines and emphasis on sculpted wood, the chairs reflect the Scandinavian Modern design language associated with designers such as Hans Wegner, Johannes Andersen and Niels Otto Møller. A beautifully proportioned pair with a distinctive design that works equally well around a dining table or as occasional seating. See less
