The particular model was exhibited at the 1933 exhibition held at the Industriforneningen in Copenhagen.
A striking example of Henningsen's craftsmanship, this armchair is characterized by the elegant construction of the mahogany frame with its slanted back and wooden armrests. The fully sprung seat and sensible dimensions make this a very comfortable chair to sit in.

The chair is in excellent condition. It has been entirely reconditioned and newly upholstered in a meadow green chenille fabric with a small abstract pattern by Rubelli. The wood has been refinished. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
