About the Item

Beautiful lounge chair made in Denmark in the 1950s. The chair bear close resemblance to Peter Hvidt's designs for Fritz Hansen The chair is not marked similar to the vast majority of chairs from the period. We do love the sculptural organic shape and harmonious proportions of this chair combined with its smaller size making it very suitable for today's urban dwellings. Raised on stained beech legs and beech frame. Spring coils in the seat and backrest. Sturdy and strong while the later added fabric is clean but showing some lighter signs of wear making it a candidate for re-upholstery. We do offer reupholstery services for this chair at very competitive prices. and the chair can be reupholstered with or without skirts.
