Teak Upholstered Armchairs with Slat Armrests, Denmark 1960s
About the Item
In December 2016, the term "hygge" was so popular that the New York Times ran an explainer on the concept. This ideal of comfortable conviviality can be expressed in many ways, including furniture and thus, this pair of beautiful armchairs.
Designers in the post-war period focused on simple, well-made pieces of home-grown and exotic woods alike such as teak and walnut. The teak frames of this pair are outstanding, both in visual and technical terms. The sculptural slats are arranged symmetrically to form the arms, flowing seamlessly into the legs. They also give the chairs an airy, light look despite being made of solid wood. The armrests have a beautiful curvature that ties in with the unique backs’ curve that is visible through the slats. The wooden detail under the seats however, follows the lines of the seat cushions, as they both face downwards. This creates a great visual balance between the straight and curved lines. The permanently reclined position of the backs assure comfort, aided by the soft green velour fabric the seats and backs are covered in. The light twisted cord trimming highlights the shape of the backs, also serving as subtle decorative elements. The legs are tapered in a characteristically Danish manner and frame the slats visually, creating a cohesive look.
While the arms are certainly the standout design elements of this pair at first sight, the teak frames are just as stunning with subtle brass screws and carefully sculpted shapes and forms. The high level of woodworking is apparent, making this pair a true mid-century masterpiece.
