Vintage Danish Mahogany Cowhorn Chairs 1940s, Set of 6
Located in Asaa, DK
Vintage Danish Mahogany cowhorn chairs 1940s, Set of 6
Early mid-century modern cow horn chairs in solid mahogany made in Denmark. Sculptural backrests with beautiful lines. Round tapered legs. Wooden frame and back lacquered in clear gloss. Seats upholstered in green velvet.
Impressive craftsmanship with beautiful joinery details. Very comfortable chairs.
The designer of this chair is unknown, but as this is a very early Danish modern chair it is not unlikely that it has inspired Hans J. Wegner and Knud Færch in the design of their cowhorn chairs.
These elegant and organically shaped dining armchairs are in excellent vintage condition. Only minor dings to the wood. The vintage velour fabric...

Sven Markelius 'Orchestra' Chairs Black & White
By Sven Markelius
Located in Antwerp, BE
Scandinavian modern, lacquered birch, stackable 'orchestra' chairs, Sven Markelius, Sweden, 1930s.
These modernist chairs were especially designed for the Helsingborg Concert Hall.
Clean and simple lines make these very early modernist chairs a great and timeless design.
These chairs would fit well in a modern day minimalist and zen interior, possibly combined with some brutalist and rustic elements.
The Helsingborg Concert Hall was of great importance as the first functionalist monumental building in Sweden. It was designed by Sven Markelius and was finished in 1932.
In 1925 a competition was launched and Markelius was invited. He had earlier, in 1918, come up with a proposal for a Concert Hall. Markelius came in third place in this competition after Lars Israel Wahlman...
