Scandinavian Pine Dining Chairs with Upholstered Seats, Scandinavia 1990s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Wood, in many ways, is more valuable than other materials used in furniture manufacturing because its natural grain guarantees that each piece is unique. This is especially important in the case of this set of five, as each chair is unique but together, they still form a gorgeous set. The love for wood was carried well into the late 20th century, inspired by mid-century modernism.

This Scandinavian set carries with it the same beloved modernist characteristics that were applied to mid-century pieces – simplicity, functionality – and shows the continuing appreciation of quality materials and craftsmanship. The set’s aesthetic is defined by the angled and slatted backrests with three horizontal slats. The slats have a gentle “hill” shape with a rounded top. This structure creates an airy and rhythmic look that is further complemented by the legs’ side stretchers that, like the rest of the frames, have straight lines. The solid wood bodies have strong, confident lines, yet, the set still exudes organic charm resulting from the richly coloured pinewood, the gently rounded edges and the upholstered seats. Pine is a truly versatile wood with strong patterns and grain in various colours. Its natural qualities are decorative elements in themselves, adding to the organic charm of this set that is evocative of the mid-century aesthetic. The seats are upholstered in a soft, light sheepskin that pairs beautifully with the wood’s smooth surface and colour. The resulting look is even more impactful when the five chairs are placed together.

Defined by their clean lines, simplicity of design, high quality materials and excellent joinery, each of these dining chairs was created by exceptionally skilled Scandinavian craftsmen who made sure they are just as durable, sturdy, and functional as their predecessors.
