About the Item
Rare Danish Modern Lounge Chair in Elm designed by Søren Hansen, who was a relative and part owner of Fritz Hansen in the 1940s, is a remarkable piece of mid-century furniture that holds historical and design significance. This lounge chair showcases the iconic Danish Modern style known for its clean lines, functional elegance, and use of natural materials.
We have treated the chair with a delicate refinish - preserving the historically correct so that originality, patina and history are preserved for posterity.
One of the standout features of this elegant lounge chair is its arc-shaped armrests crafted in moulded elm wood. The use of elm not only adds to the visual appeal but also speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Danish Modern furniture is renowned for. The patina on the wood suggests the chair's age and history, adding character and charm to the piece.
This lounge chair encapsulates the essence of mid-20th-century design innovation, reflecting the era's emphasis on both form and function. Its rarity and historical background make it a valuable collector's item, potentially sought after by enthusiasts of Danish Modern furniture and mid-century design.
