Height-Adjustable Office Chair in Leather and Steel, 1960s

This height-adjustable office chair, produced in Denmark during the 1960s, represents a clear example of mid-century Scandinavian modern industrial design. The chair balances minimalist aesthetics with functional considerations, featuring a streamlined seat and backrest shaped in a continuous organic curve. This design provides both visual harmony and ergonomic support, a hallmark of Scandinavian furniture from the period.

The seat has been newly reupholstered in high-quality cognac brown leather, which enhances the chair’s refined appearance while respecting its vintage origins. The leather upholstery conforms closely to the molded seat form, combining durability with comfort. Its subtle sheen contrasts with the raw steel base, reinforcing the chair’s industrial character.

The base consists of a robust four-star steel frame finished in matte, designed to ensure stability and durability. Mounted on casters, the chair allows for smooth movement across various surfaces. It also features an adjustable height mechanism, enabling users to customize the seat height for optimal ergonomic positioning in different workspace environments.

The chair measures 50.5 centimeters in width (19.9 inches), 47 centimeters in depth (18.5 inches), and has an adjustable height ranging from 71 to 83.5 centimeters (28 to 32.9 inches). The seat height adjusts from 42 to 55 centimeters (16.5 to 21.7 inches), providing flexibility to suit various needs and preferences.
