About the Item

An exceptional vintage office chair by J. Rasmussen, Denmark, dating to 1955 and exemplifying the clean functional elegance of early Danish modern design. The chair features a beautifully sculpted molded plywood seat and backrest with softly rounded edges, showcasing the natural warmth and grain of the wood. Its organic, ergonomic form reflects J. Rasmussen’s commitment to comfort-driven design paired with understated modern aesthetics. The seat is supported by a sleek metal swivel base with four splayed legs, offering both stability and visual lightness. The restrained industrial elements contrast elegantly with the warmth of the wood, creating a balanced and timeless composition. Designed for practical use while maintaining refined form, this chair transitions effortlessly between office, studio, or modern living spaces. A rare and early example of Labofa’s mid-century production, this 1955 office chair is both a functional seating solution and a collectible piece of Scandinavian design history.
