  • Description
    A rare pair of easy chairs with wooden frame and upholstered elements, Danish production, Fritz Hansen, Model 1590, 1942

    Scandinavian furniture design is the result of a refined synthesis of craftsmanship, deep knowledge of materials, and a distinctive lifestyle philosophy—where aesthetic balance, simplicity of form, and functionality intertwine to shape a unique design language.

    Fritz Hansen is a renowned Danish manufacturer of furniture, active since 1872. Although its success was continuous over the decades, it was in the mid-20th century that the brand gained international recognition through collaborations with prominent designers such as Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm, and Hans Wegner.

    These two easy chairs, produced during the early period of Fritz Hansen’s design renewal, reflect that transition. Crafted in wood and fabric, each chair features an embracing backrest composed of a sequence of turned wooden slats, aesthetically engaging with the generous volume of the upholstered seat. The result is a perfectly balanced contrast—an impactful and evocative design. The gently curved armrests soften the overall silhouette, breaking the austerity of the structure with elegant lines.

    The wooden parts and the upholstered structure have been carefully restored, bringing the chairs back to their original beauty. They are now offered with a high-quality fabric in a soft, muted tone.
