Danish Lounge Chair and Footstool in Moss Green Upholstery, Denmark ca 1940s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The 1940s were a transformative era for design throughout the world, particularly in Scandinavia, with Danish furniture blending the streamlined elegance of modernism with the inviting charm of quality craftsmanship. This period celebrated functionality, comfort, and organic forms, creating pieces that were as practical as they were beautiful. While maintaining some of the geometric elements often found in earlier movements, Danish designs from this era embraced soft curves and beautiful textures.

This armchair and footstool perfectly encapsulate these ideals, standing as a testament to the era’s focus on human-centred design and timeless versatility. The lasting impression of this duo is one of harmonious, seamless curves, breaking the classic angularity of the armchair, while evoking natural fluidity. The heart of this armchair’s striking design is the wing back, rounded backrest which envelops the sitter in a comforting embrace, while the smoothly curved armrests enhance the aesthetic and ergonomic appeal. The contours flow softly, creating a silhouette that feels both delicate and grounded. Echoing the chair's shape, the matching footstool features similarly rounded edges and a straightforward form, reminding of the mid-century pursuit of functionality. Both pieces are fully upholstered in a luxurious moss-green fabric, which delights the eye through its evident softness and texture, transforming the pieces into a uniquely charming accent set.

Because of its tactile richness and design focused on the user’s comfort, this chair and footstool provide a beautiful visual cohesiveness, as well as an indisputably functional seating solution. As part of the iconic craftsmanship of 20th century Danish design, this pair would make a beautiful addition to an array of interior settings.
