A striking chair designed by architects Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen in collaboration with the famous artisan company Fritz Hansen in Denmark circa 1960s. Our chair uses quality laminated beechwood and studio craft techniques, including laminated bentwood curvilinear arms and beautifully exposed teak contrast on its sculpted legs.  The upholstery features a soft muted grey tweed with a new high-density foam, while the curved backrest and descending arms hug your body for optimum lumbar support to create the most comfortable seating experience. Our chair has been meticulously restored by our expert craftsmen, keeping the two Fritz Hansen labels underside and remaining true to the original design with all aesthetic components intact.

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.
