About the Item

Just in—a stunning set of four authentic Model 42 dining chairs designed by Kai Kristiansen for Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, Denmark, c.1960s. Crafted in beautifully grained teak, these iconic Danish Modern chairs feature the signature floating backrest that tilts for exceptional comfort, sculpted armrests, and elegant tapered legs. Upholstered (original) in vibrant burnt orange fabric, this set is in very good original condition with only light age-appropriate wear. A highly sought-after design that's as comfortable as it is collectible. Perfect for Mid Century Modern, Danish Modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary interiors. Kai Kristiansen was one of the last pupils of the famous architect Kaare Klint who founded modern Danish design and laid the foundation for the "Danish Modern" style. During the years 1958-78 Kristiansen worked in his business in Aarhus owned jointly by himself and furniture maker Illum Wikkelsø (1919-99). Kristiansens works met their most intense demand during a few decades from 1950, then production of them was discontinued. However, several of them are now being produced again by the Japanese furniture producer Miyazaki Chair Mill in Tokushima. An Australian producer has also included Kristiansen production in their portfolio. Kai Kristiansen might have been the originator of mass produced furniture, had he accepted an offer from Ikea-founder Ingvar Kamprad. He declined to let himself enroll in the Ikea staff. Kristiansen exhibitions include numerous participations in furniture and design shows in Milano, Paris, Cologne and London. Among his most cherished works is the Paper Knife collection, including two sofas, a coffee table and an armchair. His 4110 og Handy chairs are also widely sold. In fact, the Kai Kristiansen name is probably better known by a selected global furniture design public than it is known generally in his home country.
