Armchairs
This rare set of four armchairs, produced in Denmark during the 1950s, embodies the refined minimalism and organic sophistication of mid-century Scandinavian design. The chairs feature a stained oak frame in a deep brown tone with visible wood grain, which has been finely sculpted and finished to a smooth, tactile surface. The black imitation leather upholstery covers the seats and partial backrests, adding a subtle contrast to the warm wood structure. The backrest integrates seamlessly with the curving arm supports, creating a flowing, continuous form that wraps the sitter in a semi-enclosed embrace.
Structurally, each chair is constructed with a careful balance of elegance and stability. The legs are tapered and splayed slightly outward, joined with low stretchers that add strength while preserving an open and lightweight visual impression. The overall shape is compact yet generous, accommodating with a wide seat and subtly angled backrest that supports comfort in both posture and aesthetics. The imitation leather, though not original to premium natural materials, is finely tailored and remains taut and well-preserved, complementing the sculptural silhouette of the frame.
Each chair measures 65 cm in width, 52 cm in depth, and 74.5 cm in height, with a seat height of 45 cm. In imperial units, this translates to approximately 25.6 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, and 29.3 inches high, with a seat height of 17.7 inches. The condition of the chairs is very good, with minor signs of age-related use visible on the wooden frames and seating surfaces. The finish is even and intact, and the structural integrity of each chair remains solid. As a cohesive set, these chairs represent an authentic and practical example of 1950s Danish craftsmanship, suitable for both dining and occasional use.
