Information

This rare pair of easy chairs, model 150, designed by Kai Kristiansen and produced by Christian Jensen Møbelsnedkeri in Denmark in 1965, exemplifies the essence of Scandinavian modern design through its geometric precision, craftsmanship, and functional elegance. Crafted from solid oak, the chairs feature a linear and structured frame that emphasizes strength and minimalist aesthetics.

The backrests are constructed with woven cane in an open grid pattern, which not only adds visual lightness but also enhances comfort through flexibility. The seats have been recently reupholstered in high-quality Savak wool fabric, offering a soft and textured surface in a neutral shade that harmonizes with the warm tones of the oak frame. The gently angled backrest supports ergonomic posture, while the wide armrests and deep seats ensure a comfortable seating experience.

Kai Kristiansen is widely regarded for his contribution to Danish modernism, particularly for integrating craftsmanship, functionality, and refined design. His work often explores modularity and ergonomics, producing timeless furniture that remains relevant in contemporary interiors. Christian Jensen Møbelsnedkeri was known for its exceptional woodworking and collaboration with prominent designers, delivering pieces that combine precision with quality.

The oak frames retain their natural patina, the reupholstered seats align with the original design intent, and the cane backrests remain intact and durable, maintaining the balance of strength and delicacy that defines the design.

The dimensions are 72.5 cm in width, 71 cm in depth, 66 cm in height, and a seat height of 38.5 cm (28.5 x 28 x 26 x 15.2 inches), offering a refined and comfortable example of mid-century Scandinavian seating.
