Danish Dining Chairs

For the collector, Modernicus offers this magnificent set of six dining chairs designed by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and manufactured by Søborg Møbelfabrik. This prolific design duo produced some of the most interesting and functional Danish furnishings of the 1950s. This chair design certainly falls under that category.

Taking design cues from the American Shaker movement and adding their own Danish sophistication, Hvidt and Mølgaard-Nielsen have produced a chair that is elegant in proportion, retains a formal presence and is above all functional. Constructed of solid teak with a wound grass seating this design is particularly popular for its curved lipped back. Visible joinery adds interest to the design.

Many Thanks For Passing Us Along!

I wanted to take today to thank the many people who share Design Mind with a wider audience, namely Coudal, Wist members, cribcandy, design addict and in the past Scrappy Girl Decorates from Domino. The life of a blogger is a solitary one and we are never sure if we will grow in our viewership, and therefore be able to share the things we love with other. But the help of those of you who make reference to our posts is so greatly appreciated. Heartfelt thanks!
