Time to elevate your dining experience!!! This is a set of 6 Scandinavian Modern dining chairs 2 arm and 4 side chairs by Uldum Mobelfabrik and attributed to Johannes Andersen, made in Denmark. They are comprised of lovely teak frames with clean lines including tapered square straight front legs, slightly flared back legs that double as the seat back sides and hold the slightly curved back seat cushion, lower back stretcher, and wonderful square seat cushions inside a square seat frame with a front apron. Both the back & seats are covered in a charming golden chenille fabric with a reddish-gold or copper-ish hue. The chenille wraps around the back in one direction, so the nap runs a different direction on each side creating a cool shadow effect. But (sigh!) the fabric has seen better days. It can certainly be used for a while although most will want to reupholster… which we never think of that as a negative aspect because we LOVE new fabrics… and think of the ENDLESS and FANTASTIC possibilities! My mother, who is an incredible retired interior designer, thought it would be fun to cover the seat cushion in one fabric and the back cushion in a contrasting fabric! WOW!!! That would be SPECTACULAR!! They are beautifully crafted, ergonomically pleasing, and highly functional. These chairs encapsulate the hallmark of quintessential Scandinavian Modern design and are sure to make a bold statement surrounding your dining table; however, you may want to consider our listings for matching Scandinavian Modern dining tables as we have several listed here that will compliment them nicely… check them out!! They would also be wonderfully utilized at the office surrounding a conference table or even in a waiting area. Wherever they go, they are sure to create a SPECTACULAR seating experience!!
Johannes Andersen was born in 1903 in Aarhus, Denmark. During his younger life he worked as an apprentice cabinet maker and received his certification in 1922. He started his own architectural workshop in the 1930’s and created several pieces for Trensum, a Swedish furniture manufacturer. While working with Trensum he designed myriad coffee tables consisting of rosewood and teak and he launched the “Capri” sofa and sofa table series that would later become popular worldwide. Andersen’s work erupted over the 1950-1960’s and his coffee tables were being produced globally. He became renowned for his sophisticated use of high-quality woods and attention to the smallest details. He continued creating new designs until he turned 80 and at this time he closed his office. Mr. Andersen passed away in 1991, but his designs live on and are highly sought after today.
