Viggo Boesen easy chair
This rare easy chair, model 107, attributed to Viggo Boesen and produced by Slagelse Møbelværk in Denmark during the 1940s, embodies the sculptural elegance and organic aesthetic characteristic of Boesen’s work. The chair features a solid oak frame with gracefully curved armrests and a slightly tilted backrest, designed to offer both comfort and visual appeal.
The frame has developed a natural patina over time, with minor wear consistent with its age, enhancing the chair’s authenticity and charm. The wood has been carefully preserved and treated to maintain its structural integrity and finish. The seat and backrest have been newly reupholstered in high-quality sheepskin, preserving the soft, tactile quality of the original upholstery while ensuring durability and comfort. The sheepskin’s even texture and plush feel complement the warmth and organic qualities of the oak frame.
This model is an excellent example of Danish mid-century craftsmanship, illustrating Boesen’s ability to merge functional design with expressive form. The chair’s well-considered proportions provide a comfortable seating experience, while its distinctive design makes it a striking addition to any interior.
The chair measures 74 centimeters in width, 82 centimeters in depth, and 73 centimeters in height, with a seat height of 38 centimeters.
