Set of Six Scandinavian Oak Dining Chairs, Scandinavia ca 1950s (sold)
This impressive mid-century dining set of six is representative of the fundamental axioms of Scandinavian design that revolve around quality and functionality and pairs it with a distinctive design.
The set consists of six chairs, two of which feature armrests. Each chair is made of solid oak with a beautiful grain and colour. The style and shape of the frames recall an almost Baroque design, with a strong angular structure featuring straight as well as curved edges. The design combines this with the organicity of traditional Scandinavian style, and as a result, this set has a visually arresting and individual aesthetic. The stand-out visual appeal is provided by the slender backrests that echo the razorblade chair design of the famous Danish designer, Henning Kjaernulf. The distinctive pattern also appears under the seats on the front, forming a great visual effect as a set.
The details, such as the joinery and woodworking reveal the high quality craftsmanship of the Scandinavian manufacturer. The chairs feature light upholstered seats that complement the beautiful oaken wood colour. Furthermore, the two accent chairs with armrests are prefect for the table tops, making this an ideal and impressive dining set.
