About the Item

A wonderful set of six classic dining chairs in solid oak, known as the celebrated "Razorblade" high model, designed by the acclaimed Danish designer Henning Kjærnulf in the 1960s. These pieces represent a rare and highly sought-after variant within Kjærnulf's prolific output. Manufactured in Denmark by companies such as Nyrup Møbelfabrik or EG Kvalitetsmøbler, they perfectly encapsulate the fundamental principles of Danish Modern design, with a strong focus on functionality, while leaning towards the bold, sculptural look of the Brutalist and Baroque styles that are common in his work. The chairs are distinguished by their striking high backs, featuring unique, decorative razorblade-shaped cutouts, an unparalleled design feature that creates a dramatic and eye-catching silhouette. The frames boast scalloped details and rounded aprons, and the natural grain and rich color of the solid oak are beautifully showcased. The chairs are in overall very good condition, with minor traces on the wood frames consistent with age and use, which only adds to their authentic vintage patina. The seats have been newly upholstered in a clean, unused grey-white textured fabric, emphasizing the beauty of the oak grain and adding a modern touch. The foam within the seats is still firm, ensuring comfort and durability. This sturdy, high-quality set is a perfect addition to any modern, Scandinavian, stylish interior, offering a touch of rustic charm and a harmonic home atmosphere. All chairs are completely firm and solid with no loose joints. Ready to use. All wood is cleaned and degreased, and then oiled up again. #72
