About the Item

The image depicts a pair of Danish mid-century ‘safari’ chairs, which are iconic in their simplistic yet elegant design. They were designed by Erik Wørts for Niels Eilersen and are recognized as model number 30, a product of the 1960s. These chairs feature a solid rosewood frame, known for its durability and rich coloration. The use of original canvas slings for the seat and backrest emphasizes the chair’s lightweight and portable nature, which is characteristic of safari furniture designed for ease of movement and assembly. The brass fittings on the arms not only serve a functional purpose but also add a touch of sophistication to the overall aesthetic. The chairs display a minimal design ethos, with the refinement evident in the gracefully curved feet and the ornamental detailing at the top of the frame, which is carved on the wood. This attention to detail showcases the craftsmanship typical of mid-century Danish design. Comfort is also a key aspect of these chairs, as indicated by the statement that they sit quite comfortably. This is important for safari chairs, as they were originally intended for use in mobile camps and expeditions where comfort was essential. Finally, the chairs are marked on the underside, which is a common practice for designer furniture to authenticate the design and trace its origin. These marks would help identify the chairs as genuine pieces designed by Erik Wørts and might include the designer’s signature, model number, or the manufacturer's details.
