Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen armchair

This rare armchair, designed by Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen and produced by Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik in Denmark, is a distinguished example of Scandinavian mid-century design from the 1960s. The frame is crafted from rosewood, a highly valued hardwood known for its rich color variations and distinctive grain patterns. Its sculptural form features gently curved armrests that seamlessly flow into the overall structure. The chair is upholstered with a black leather seat and backrest, creating a striking contrast with the deep reddish-brown tones of the wood. The leather is smoothly fitted to the frame, while the slightly reclined backrest provides ergonomic comfort.

The craftsmanship of Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik is apparent in the fine joinery and meticulous attention to detail. The round legs taper subtly toward the floor, lending an elegant lightness to the otherwise robust design. Rosewood’s luxurious appearance was a hallmark of high-end Danish furniture during this period, contributing significantly to the chair’s visual appeal.

Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen was a Danish designer celebrated for his refined aesthetic and precision craftsmanship. His work aligned with the principles of functional Scandinavian modernism, focusing on comfort and timeless elegance balanced with well-proportioned structural integrity.

The chair measures 67 cm in width, 50 cm in depth, and 76 cm in height (26.4 by 19.7 by 29.9 inches), with a seat height of 42 cm (16.5 inches). It remains in excellent condition, with well-preserved wood and leather surfaces showing only minor wear consistent with its age.
