About the Item
Rare pair of MK-16 safari chairs by Danish master Mogens Koch, an iconic 1932 design that blends refined craftsmanship with the functional spirit of expedition furniture. These elegant folding armchairs feature a solid rosewood structure enhanced by brass rings and cabochons that highlight their architectural clarity. The seat, in supple leather, rests on an X-shaped base with sculptural feet from which the grooved vertical uprights rise. A continuous leather band and adjustable straps form the backrest and armrests, ensuring comfort while preserving the chair’s clean, minimal silhouette. Lightweight yet exceptionally stable, the MK-16 showcases Koch’s dedication to honest materials and intelligent construction. A sophisticated addition to any interior, combining timeless Scandinavian design with collectible historical value. Dimensions: 56 × 52 × 88 cm H.

Mogens Koch ‘Mk-16’ Safari Chair for Rud Rasmussen
By Mogens Koch, Rud Rasmussen
Located in Esbjerg, DK
Mogens Koch furniture designed a lot of award wining midcentury furniture. The Danish architect was known for his functional approach to furniture design and for prioritizing comfort and accessibility. Koch also drew on older traditions and techniques. His chairs and tables show the influence of the Shaker Style and Englisch pieces of the 18th century.
Koch was born in Copenhagen and attended the Royal Danisch Academy of fine Arts. After graduating, he worked as an assistant to Kaare Klint, an important figure in Danish modernism who was responsible for establishing the furniture design program at Koch’s alma mater.
