This model belongs to a group of high-back lounge chairs with the possibility of changing the position of backrest typical of Ladefoged’s work. Its defining feature is the continuous, flowing line of the armrests extending into the front legs, combined with well-balanced proportions that support a relaxed, natural sitting position. Some versions were designed with adjustable backrests, highlighting their practical and ergonomic qualities .

The frame is crafted from solid teak, a material that has become a standard of quality in Danish design. The wooden elements are in very good original condition, with minimal signs of age and wear. The seat and backrest have been reupholstered in a pink fabric made from recycled wool.

Stylistically, the chair sits firmly within the mid-century modern and Scandinavian design tradition. There are no unnecessary decorative elements—its form follows function. The organic lines, gently shaped armrests, and thoughtful proportions give the piece a light and elegant presence despite its solid construction. It integrates effortlessly into both contemporary and classic interiors.

In everyday use, the chair reveals its true strength. The backrest provides firm support, while the slightly reclined angle encourages relaxation without compromising posture. The teak frame ensures long-term durability, and its refined silhouette allows it to stand out without overwhelming the space.

Søren Ladefoged was active during the golden era of Danish modernism, focusing on ergonomics and craftsmanship. SL Møbler was a Danish producer known for working with solid wood and maintaining high standards of traditional furniture making.

This is a chair for those who appreciate authentic Danish design—calm, well-crafted, and timeless. This piece has an attribution mark,
