Handwritten in pencil beneath two of the chairs are the dates “1954” and “1955.” The other markings are illegible.

These chairs are exceptionally sturdy, with generous seats and tall backs that offer excellent comfort. The seats are supported by thick hemp webbing and remain fully functional as-is. However, the original upholstery shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the corners—clearly shown in our images.

The chairs are versatile: perfect around a dining table, or used in pairs in an entryway or guest room to create a cohesive interior theme.

For an additional $900, we offer full reupholstery (fabric or leather not included in this price). You are welcome to send us your own fabric if you already have a specific in mind.

While not classic Danish modern in design, these chairs are rooted in older European traditions and show influences from Chinese classical furniture. There are also clear elements of both Baroque and Brutalist styles, yet the rich, dark oak softens their look, giving them a warm, organic presence.

Crafted entirely from solid oak, these chairs are of exceptional quality—bold, grounded, and built to last. See less
