About the Item

Set of eight dining chairs model "Darby" designed by Torbjørn Afdal. Produced in Norway by Nesjestranda Møbelfabrikk. Made from solid palisander with original leather upholstery in burgundy.

Light patina from age and use can be seen throughout the chairs but is subtle. Torbjørn Afdal was one of the leading designers at Bruksbo Tegnekontor and in Scandinavia. Afdal became more well known when his furniture was bought by US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy and by the Japanese Emperor.
