Dining chairs
This rare set of twelve dining chairs, produced in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of Danish mid-century design. The chairs feature solid rosewood frames, showcasing a rich, expressive grain pattern that highlights the high-quality nature of the material. The warm tones of the rosewood are complemented by the sleek and sophisticated design, which incorporates a slightly curved backrest supported by four horizontal slats. This backrest design provides both comfort and a visually open structure, offering a balance of form and function.
The rear legs of each chair are subtly tapered and angled, contributing to the chair’s lightweight and elegant appearance. These structural features not only enhance the overall design but also provide the necessary stability and durability. The simplicity of the frame design allows the rich wood and carefully considered proportions to take center stage.
The seats are upholstered in niger leather, a premium material known for its exceptional durability and its ability to develop a beautiful patina over time. The deep brown shade of the leather complements the natural hues of the rosewood, creating a harmonious visual effect. The seat padding is gently contoured, providing comfort without compromising the chair’s streamlined silhouette, characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian design.
The set remains in very good vintage condition, showing some signs of age-related wear, which is consistent with the period and adds to the authenticity of the pieces. The chairs’ dimensions are 50 cm in width (19.7 inches), 53 cm in depth (20.9 inches), and 84.5 cm in height (33.3 inches), with a seat height of 45 cm (17.7 inches). These measurements make the chairs suitable for a variety of dining settings, offering both comfort and style.
