Description

1970s version of the classic safari chair popularized by early Danish designer Kaare Klint's versions from the 1930s. This one was purchased in Denmark, though provenance in not clear - likely European in origin. Larger generous square oak legs with original cognac leather. Two unusual aspects versus the Scandinavian versions, the wide-stitch seam at front sides and the four metal bars supporting the frame at seat. Great vintage condition with normal wear with age (marks and stains), no cushion. unoriginal leather straps below seat.
