Elegant lounge chair designed by one of the few female Mid-Century furniture designers, Grete Jalk. This example was designed in collaboration with the Danish company France & Søn in Denmark in the 1950s. Handcrafted in solid teak wood, it features two curved slats that adorn the open back of this beautiful chair with its organic shapes and clean lines giving it a stunning profile. With its refined sculpted armrests and intricate wood grain, it shows the clear and comfortable lines she was reputable for. This elegant model has been fully restored by our expert craftsmen, it includes new webbing support, new high-density foam, and recently reupholstered with new high-quality tweed fabric. Now ready to be enjoyed for a lifetime!

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.

Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.

New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.

Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
