A masterclass in danish modern design by preben schou for high-end manufacturer schou andersen møbelfabrik in the early 1970s, this distinctive and attractive set will add lovely colouring, unmistakeable scandinavian quality and craftsmanship, and a timelessly sophisticated, sculpturally elegant aesthetic to any interior.

crafted from beautiful, excellent quality solid teak wood displaying lovely grain patterning and rich hues ranging from golden blonde to nutty auburn, these chairs are wonderfully designed to allow them to project a captivating and sculptural silhouette when viewed from any angle.

preben schou’s design is a marvellous mid-century melange of curves and waves, without a single right-angle. Even the wavelike ‘finger’ joints express immaculate flowing asymmetry, quietly displaying the staggering level of precision required to craft of these splendid danish chairs.

very comfortable, these chairs feature statuesque, gently curving, high backs with extremely charming, rounded tops over elegantly contouring back splats. Their streamlined design hints at organic minimalism, while the chairs are supported by sturdy and attractive, round-edged tapering legs.

the super-comfy and generously sized, curved and padded seats have been recently professionally reupholstered in a super quality neutral velvety fabric, which ranges from dusky cream to taupe depending on the direction of the nap of the cloth, and which works wonderfully with the rich teak tones.

preben schou andersen dining chairs are highly sought after for their excellent quality and design. All in all this is a fantastic set, which won’t fail to enhance any setting with superb danish quality, gorgeous colouring and an unmistakeable, knockout look.

condition
these super dining chairs are in very good vintage condition. Structurally sound and sturdy, they are newly upholstered and have only very minor age-related signs of wear, including a knock and hairline crack to the upper crown of one chair. Overall they’re a superb set in lovely vintage condition and if well looked after they should be just as marvellous in another 50+ years – please see the photos.
