About the Item
Two large chairs with a special cover based on a design by kurt østervig from the 60s.
A design that convinces with its materiality and details. With their imposing dimensions, these chairs can almost be called armchairs. The frame is made of solid oak elements. The round shapes of the legs harmonize with the flat armrests. The armrests look inconspicuous in profile. A special detail is the leatherette inlay on the top. The front legs flare upwards to create more space and seating comfort. The upholstery of the backrests is inclined. A special feature is still the cover with the dot pattern. This is a playful alternative to boring plain covers. The cover was probably renewed once and this pattern will not be the original upholstery color. the chairs are in very good condition with traces of use.

Kurt Østervig
Kurt Ejvind Østervig was born in 1912 in Odense, Denmark. He was originally trained and worked as a shipbuilding engineer. However, by the 1930s Østervig shifted to furniture design because of his passion for woodworking.
Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. In 1947, Østervig opened his first own studio as a freelance furniture designer, with a focus on modern design. In the following decades, he worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture producers of the period.
Østervig was exceptionally versatile, designing furniture for hotels, cinemas, and won numerous design competitions during his career. He won awards at the Milan Triennale in 1953 and 1960. In the 1960s, one of Østervig’s designs was selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Østervig had a flair for the dramatic, infusing his furnishings with unique elements that stood out. From elegant, organic to coarse and purely functional furniture, his versatility earned him recognition.
