About the Item
Henning Kjaernulf’s characteristic “Razorblade” chairs are the designer’s most distinctive model. This set of five was manufactured by the Danish company Nyrup Møbelfabrik in the 1960s, making it a true Danish mid-century set.
It is easy to see where the nickname of these chairs stems from. The slightly reclined backrests are razorblade-shaped, an unparalleled feature that makes the designer’s pieces immediately recognisable. The chairs are visually stimulating, featuring both angular and rounded shapes. The style and shape of the legs and frame recall an almost Baroque design, which is paired with Scandinavian modernism, an uncommon yet impressive combination. The legs are connected with box stretchers, with the exception of the front legs that feature geometrical carvings. Under the seats there are similarly carved aprons. These forms of subtle ornamentation elements make these chairs charming, while also showing off the oak’s natural qualities and the crafters’ artisan skills. The natural wood grain and colour is complemented by the light fabric of the seats.
The details, such as the impeccable joinery and woodworking reveal the high quality craftsmanship of the Danish manufacturer, Nyrup Møbelfabrik. The chairs feature seats upholstered in a beautiful blue fabric that complement the beautiful oak’s appealing, warm colour.

About the designer:
Danish mid-century designer and architect, Henning Kjaernulf is somewhat of a mystery. A lot more is known about his designs than Kjaernulf himself. His wooden designs, crafted to perfection, speak for themselves. Kjaernulf mainly designed for the Danish manufacturers EG Kvalitetsmobel, Nyrup Møbelfabrik, and Vejle Stole Møbelfabrik. The latter produced the designer’s well-known teak extending dining table design. The historic archives of the Danish municipality, Stenlille, reveal the history of Nyrup Møbelfabrik, mentioning Kjaernulf’s architectural designs for the company’s factory, referring to him as an architect based in Odense, Denmark.
Kjaernulf’s works reveal quality craftsmanship throughout, featuring clean Danish modern era lines with sculpted edges and shapes. The unique shapes, like his razorblade chair backrests, distinguish the designer from other Danish mid-century designers.
In light of how sought after his dining sets and lounge chairs are, it remains a mystery why so little is known about the designer. The curious background of Kjaernulf if anything, adds more charm to his pieces.
