Of course! Erik Kirkegaard was a prominent Danish furniture designer active during the 20th century. He is known for his elegance and craftsmanship in his designs. Kirkegaard was especially active during the 1950s and 1960s, an era when Danish design became popular worldwide for its minimalist aesthetic and attention to functionality.
One of the important aspects of Kirkegaard's work was his ability to combine traditional craft techniques with modern production methods. He often used wood as the main material for his furniture and strove for simple, yet sophisticated designs that were both comfortable and durable.
Høng Stolefabrik was the Danish furniture factory where Kirkegaard spent much of his career. This factory was known for its high-quality wooden furniture and played an important role in promoting Danish design as an internationally recognized style. Kirkegaard's collaboration with Høng Stolefabrik resulted in some of his most iconic designs, including chairs and armchairs that were known for their sleek lines and timeless appeal.
An iconic Danish chair designed by Erik Kirkegaard in the 1950s, Model 49b is an excellent example of Danish modernist design of the time, characterized by simple lines, craftsmanship and functionality.
Made of solid wood, mostly teak, the Model 49b chair is known for its timeless and minimalist aesthetic. It has an elegantly curved backrest that supports the body and a comfortable seat suitable for long-term use. Its armrests that look somewhat like cow horns are a striking detail
What makes this chair truly special is the craftsmanship behind it. Høng Stolefabrik was known for its high-quality furniture, and the Model 49b is no exception. Each piece was carefully handcrafted by skilled craftsmen, resulting in a chair of outstanding quality and durability.
During its heyday, the Model 49b chair became popular in Denmark and abroad for its elegant design and comfort. Today, the model is considered an icon of Danish design and is often collected by vintage and modernist furniture enthusiasts.
This set has been completely refinished structurally and fitted with new upholstery in off-white teddy fabric from the company Switch and also with new padding.
Optically the condition is clean, considering use and age, the set has a unique and very nice patina on the wood what gives the whole a unique look.
Kirkegaard's work is still appreciated by design enthusiasts around the world because of the combination of craftsmanship, aesthetics and functionality that characterize his designs.
