Danish Oak and Teak Armchair, Denmark 1950s (sold)
Danish Oak and Teak Armchair, Denmark 1950s (sold)
Danish design is a remarkable combination of concern for comfort and materiality melded with a desire for Shaker-like clarity. Most notably, the vintage pieces of the 1950s are an exciting collision of sensuality, usually evidenced in the materials, with the discipline of the design.
With a characteristic organic shape, this model has soft curves, perched on tapered legs. Uniquely, the frame is made from two types of wood, oak and teak. Oak was used for the frame, and the armrests are carved from teak. The difference in the colour of the woods is quite apparent, showcasing the different grains and shades beautifully. This difference immediately gives this chair a unique characteristic that separates it visually from the similar armchairs of the era. Danish design is a remarkable combination of concern for comfort and materiality melded with a desire for Shaker-like clarity. This model’s core values revolve around functionality and comfort, providing a level of comfort that assures relaxation. This is achieved by the slightly raised seat and bent backrest that guarantee these qualities. The sculptural armrests complement the rounded edges of the body, and along with the simple, tapered legs, they highlight the oak and teak wood, creating a balance between the materials.
This armchair revolves around high-quality materials, comfort and the mastery of Danish cabinetmakers. The body has been reupholstered recently in premium sheepskin, which not only elevates the beauty of the wooden frame, but also provides a look of elegant cosiness.
