"Canada" Armchair Attr. to Søren Hansen for Fritz Hansen, Denmark 20th Century

Creator: Fritz Hansen (Attributed) - Søren Hansen (Soren Hansen)
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This “Canada” armchair, attributed to Søren Hansen for Fritz Hansen, is a standout example of Danish mid-century design that seamlessly blends form and function. With its long profile and confident, angular silhouette, the chair reflects the restrained elegance and craftsmanship typical of Danish furniture from the mid-20th century.

From the welcoming winged body and the exposed beech wood to the stylish upholstery, this chair expresses quality craftsmanship. Both from the back and the sides, the frame engages with the body in a visually interesting way: the exposed lines accentuate the prowess of the designer and producer. The beech frame features precise joinery that highlights the natural beauty of the material. The seat and back cushions are also thoughtfully proportioned to offer relaxed support. The upholstery of the cushions lends a graphic and modern touch to the otherwise understated structure and adds both texture and contrast, making the chair visually engaging without overwhelming its clean lines. This armchair was created in the golden days of Danish mid-century modernism, when designers joined hands with master cabinetmakers and manufacturers to create products that last a lifetime and eventually become heirloom pieces. Therefore, this chair is sure to stand the test of time.

Whether used as a statement piece in a living room or as part of a curated reading corner, the “Canada” chair carries a timeless presence. Its combination of honest materials, functional comfort, and subtle elegance continues to appeal to collectors and design enthusiasts alike. It exemplifies the Danish ethos of quality and simplicity.
