Danish Cabinetmaker Lounge Chair in Bouclé, Denmark 1960s
-
Description
Strongly influenced by the functional forms of the Bauhaus school in Germany, Danish designers led the way in furniture design during the 1950s and 60s. They combined the inspiration brought by new industrial technologies with minimalist design. This style became so influential that it is recognized as a design movement in itself, entitled Danish Design, with a subgroup known as Danish Modern.
Danish Modern focused more on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen such as cabinetmakers. This armchair is a great example of the style with its clean and pure lines coupled with craftsmanship and delicate research into proportions, materials, and the requirements of the human body. Adopting the trend of abandoning ornamentation to benefit the form, this chair’s designer and manufacturer both maintained the beauty and warmth inherent to traditional Danish cabinetmaking. The body has gentle, rounded lines that are visible even through the luxurious bouclé upholstery. The modern aesthetic is further elevated by the highly textured, premium bouclé upholstery with an interesting striped pattern that complements the shape and the wooden legs as well. Bouclé is the ultimate material for soft and elegant luxury, with its individual loops creating plenty of visual interest. The curled plies effortlessly elevate the sheer size and shape of the chair, especially around the edges. The dark stained legs provide contrast to both the colour and the shape of the body with their deep shade and straight lines. From every single angle, this armchair offers stunning lines and a rich texture.
Above all, Danish designers believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. Looking at this armchair, this was evidently and too far-fetched ideal. The unique fabric highlights the frame’s rounded edges and makes this armchair ideal to blend a stroke of modernity to any space, with a nod to comfort and simple artistry from the north.
