Rare Danish Chair in Solid aged Pine by Nissen & Gehl 1970, Model: Fyrkat
About the Item
One original rare danish dining chair in solid pine designed by Nissen & Gehl for Jens Hansens møbelfabrik in Silkeborg Denmark 1970. It has beautifully aged golden pine color and is in good vintage and solid condition.
The model is called " FYRKAT "
"Fyrkat" is a term that has historical and cultural significance. It refers to a historical site and a type of fortification in Denmark. The Fyrkat Viking Ring Fortress, or Fyrkat Vikingeborg in Danish, is one of the circular Viking fortresses built during the Viking Age.
The word "Fyrkat" itself is derived from Old Norse. "Fyr" means "first" or "foremost," and "kat" has been interpreted as "to cut" or "to make." So, "Fyrkat" could be translated as something like "the foremost cut" or "the first incision," possibly referring to the layout or construction of the fortress.
Reaching out to Mr Gehl before his passing this year, he remembers that they paid a lot of attention into the angle of the seat and backrest making the chair comfortable without having to add padding. Mr. Gehl himself was the owner of the same model chair for many years with great satisfaction.
An important collectable piece of design history.
