Armchair with Woven Seating in the manner of Henning Kjærnulf, Denmark 1960s

Danish armchairs reflect a strand of mid-20th century design that is expressive while also maintaining the minimal decor of the period. While much Scandinavian furniture from this period is associated with restraint and lightness, artists such as Henning often introduced a more sculptural character, combining solid oak construction with carved or shaped elements. His “razorblade” backrests became a defining feature, giving otherwise simple chairs a distinctive identity.

This armchair, in the manner of Kjærnulf’s work, follows that direction through its solid oak frame and clearly defined silhouette. The structure is built with thick elements, with the legs and arm supports featuring turned details. The backrest is composed of three horizontal slats with gently curving edges, creating a layered effect that adds depth without complicating the form. The woven seat introduces a counterpoint to the rigid wooden frame. Made from natural fibres, it has an organic texture that contrasts with the smoother surfaces of the oak. This material choice offers breathability while remaining durable over time. The combination of solid wood and woven seating reflects traditional craftsmanship, where each material is valued, and comes together to create enduring pieces.

What makes the chair stand out is the way it balances weight and detail within Danish design. It feels solid and deliberate, able to anchor a space, while still being functional for everyday use.
