Simplicity, functionality, and elegance - these are the basic aspects of Danish design and accordingly, of this sophisticated easy chair as well. As a representation of early modernist seating, there is a profound focus on comfort and cosiness, that invokes a pleasant homelike feeling.

The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements gives the chair its elegance. Even though Scandinavian design is generally democratic and meant for the masses, pieces were not stripped of all beauty in order to make them as easy to use as possible. The importance of this balance can be identified in the design and execution of these armchairs as well. This balance is achieved through the clever use of the materials and rounded edges of the upholstered body. The exposed wood outlining the armrests’ shape is the standout design element. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created this piece, especially visible in the sculpted armrests. The pairing of the bun feet in the front and the short, tapered legs in the back is a quirky Scandinavian detail that adds more visual interest to this model.

This armchair further illustrates how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The elegant light wool upholstery highlights the beautiful wood lines of the armrests and the legs. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this chair is truly soulful and timeless.
