Knud Bent bar stools
Rare set of 6 bar stools designed by Knud Bent. Produced by Dyrlund in Denmark. This set of bar stools was designed by Knud Bent and produced by Dyrlund in Denmark during the 1960s. The stools are constructed from rosewood with upholstered leather seats, reflecting the Scandinavian modern aesthetic with a refined yet functional design. The frame is characterized by clean lines and subtly curved details, with a distinct Y-shaped backrest that provides structural integrity and visual appeal. The legs taper slightly towards the bottom and are connected by stretchers, including a reinforced footrest with a metal insert for durability. The rosewood showcases a deep, rich grain pattern, enhancing the stools’ warm and natural appearance. The leather seat upholstery complements the wood, providing a contrast in both texture and tone.
