The Nanna Ditzel ND-83 cognac leather chair for Søren Willadsen is a refined example of Danish Modern design, blending sculptural form with exceptional comfort. Upholstered in rich cognac leather, the chair features a beautifully contoured seat and back that gently cradle the body. Its solid walnut wood frame showcases clean lines and subtle curves, emphasizing both strength and elegance. Thoughtful proportions and exposed joinery reflect the high level of craftsmanship associated with Danish furniture of this period. This chair remains highly versatile, working equally well as a lounge chair, reading chair, or statement piece in a modern interior.

Fun Historical Fact

Nanna Ditzel was one of the most celebrated Danish designers of the 20th century and was often referred to as the “Grand Dame of Danish Design.” She challenged the rigid forms of early modernism by introducing softer, more organic silhouettes focused on human comfort. The ND-83 chair reflects her belief that furniture should feel inviting and emotionally engaging, not just functional. Many of Ditzel’s designs, including seating for Søren Willadsen, have become iconic collectibles due to their timeless appeal and forward-thinking ergonomics.

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.
