About the Item

This pair is the most recognizable model of Danish designer and manufacturer, Svend Skipper, and a great example of the mid-century design era. Skipper only created commissioned pieces, meaning none of his designs were mass-produced. “Model 91” features a masterfully sculpted teak base and legs. The teak tips “poke out” at the end of the upholstered armrests, which is a very characteristic design element of this model. The high wing-back features tufted buttons arranged in a single, horizontal line. The loose cushion on the seat provides great sitting comfort while also adding to the welcoming look. These details create a sculptural silhouette that made this model popular already in its time. The design was created in 1956 and this particular piece was manufactured by Skipper Møbelfabrik in the 1960s. For its resemblance to Hans J. Wegner’s “Papa Bear” chair, this model is often referred to by that name, however, “Model 91” was only made upon order. Skipper’s craftsmanship and quality can be observed in every single detail, from the exposed teak arms, to the distinctive shape and level of comfort. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in premium light wool. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

Dimensions: 31.29 in W x 34.05 in D x 38.58 in H; Seat height 15.74 in 79.5 cm W x 86.5 cm D x 98 cm H; Seat height 40 cm Literature: Mobilia Volume 6 #73 August 1961, edited by Paul Henningsen Gunnar Bratvold. Published by [Snekkersten: Mobilia, 1961] About the designer: Svend Skipper was a Danish furniture designer and manufacturer. Skipper Møbelfabrik was founded in 1955 by the namesake and has since produced seating furniture as a Danish craft for almost 6 decades. The manufacturer still exists, and “Model 91” has been relaunched in 2011 as a response to its growing popularity and rarity. ~H.
