This stunning pair of Janus lounge chairs, designed by Kurt Østervig for Jason Møbler in the 1950s, is a masterpiece of Danish modern craftsmanship. Crafted from beechwood with a rich walnut stain, these chairs feature an elegantly sculpted frame with beautifully curved armrests and a striking slatted backrest. Expertly refinished, the wood showcases its original warmth and depth, highlighting the chair’s timeless appeal. The fresh reupholstery in an oatmeal-colored tweed fabric enhances both comfort and sophistication, perfectly complementing the natural wood tones.

A fun historical fact: the "Janus" chair was aptly named after the Roman god Janus, who symbolized duality and transitions—much like these chairs, which seamlessly bridge the gap between function and artistry. With its refined form and enduring appeal, this set is a true collector’s piece, embodying the sleek, organic aesthetic of Mid-Century Danish design and making a refined yet practical statement in any modern interior.

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.
