Danish Teak Dining Chairs by Dyrlund, Denmark 1960s

About the Item

Dyrlund, a renowned Danish furniture manufacturer founded in 1960, was instrumental in shaping the mid-century modern movement with impeccable attention paid to detail and timeless design sensibilities. This set of eight model “7866” dining chairs reflect both the company’s ideals and the era's emphasis on clean lines, organic forms, and functionality. Danish mid-century modern design is still celebrated for its minimalist yet functional approach, which values the use of natural materials and the marriage of form and function. Teak wood was particularly beloved by Danish designers for several reasons; its rich, golden hue, fine grain, and durability made it an ideal choice for furniture production. Moreover, teak's resistance to decay and pests ensured that pieces like these model 7866 chairs would remain in pristine condition for generations. There is something universally appealing about Danish furniture; its simplicity is often copied, but the vibe is difficult – if not impossible – to emulate. This is based on a unique medley of elements including solid wood, inspiration from historic and traditional styles and techniques, and of course, master craftsmanship. These chairs have a classic look with carefully crafted, where the frames are the subtle decorative features themselves, framing the upholstered bodies impeccably. The exposed backs are especially appealing, showcasing the rich texture of the fabric. When in close proximity to each other, this creates a stunning decorative element on the chairs. The backs flow down seamlessly to form the gently bent back legs, that are connected to the front legs by side stretchers that serve a dual purpose. They aid stability while also providing visual interest. While dining chairs are generally more utilitarian types of seating, this set of eight still manages to look cosy and warm thanks to the upholstered seats and backs. The textured fabric is not only elegant, it also accentuates the luxurious wood. The main decorative element however, remains the beauty of the wood with beautiful colour hues and grain. This set showcases the quintessential Danish design principles: a harmonious blend of aesthetics and utility. With their sleek lines, the chairs embody the idea of form following function. These chairs not only stand as a testament to Dyrlund's legacy but also as an iconic representation of Danish mid-century modern design, where simplicity and quality are held in the highest regard, making them ideal for design enthusiasts.

  • Set of Six Ole Wanscher Dining Chairs for CADO, Denmark 1960s
    By Ole Wanscher
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    This set of dining chairs by Danish designer Ole Wanscher features distinctive splayed legs and fine exposed joinery in the back. The design is honest and simple with a refined technique and materials which makes this set a true example of mid-century Danish design. The simple and refined aesthetic of these chairs was achieved by Wanscher reinventing classic forms. This set consists of six individual chairs, two of them with armrests. The solid wood frame is made of stained mahogany in a warm, dark colour. The backs of the chairs have delicate dovetail joints, a joinery technique where the end grain is exposed from both boards, creating a dovetail-like pattern. The legs are slightly splayed, which is a reoccurring design element of Ole Wanscher. The general style of these chairs is both accessible and elegant, employing slender and gently curved lines. The seats have been reupholstered in a premium navy-blue fabric, complimenting the elegant mahogany frames. CADO began as modernist furniture producer France & Søn, and entered a new phase when successful Danish designer Poul Cadovius took ownership sometime between 1964 and ‘67. The company’s collaboration with Wanscher among others, paved the way for the style which later became known as Danish Modern. Like many of the other chairs designed by Wanscher, the chairs of this set are now seen as modern classics. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear due to age and use, including scratches and marks. The chairs have been reupholstered in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information. Dimensions: 20.27 in W x 19.29 in D x 31.49 in H; Seat height 17.32 in 51.5 cm W x 49 cm D x 80 cm H; Seat height 44 cm About the designer: Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) was an architect and professor, and is known today as one of the leading figures in the Scandinavian Design movement and many of his pieces became staples in Scandinavian homes. Wanscher studied at the Danish School of Art and Design, and was highly influenced by his professor, Kaare Klint. After graduation, Wanscher worked with Klint between 1924 and 1927, then set up his first own office, specialising in furniture design. By the end of the 1940s, Wanscher made a name for himself for his quality designs. As the Danish newspaper Politiken put it: “'Owning a Wanscher-chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”. Like Klint, Wanscher disagreed with the modernist full-sail rejection of the past and preferred to explore classic yet minimal aesthetics informed by precise study of the human body. Wanscher was also heavily influenced by Greek...
