VINTAGE HENNING KJAERNULF (DENMARK) CHAIR
Another beautifully designed chair by Henning Kjaernulf and produced by EG Kvalitetsmøbler (Denmark) in the 1960s. Hand crafted from Scandinavian Oak, these chairs are incredibly rare internationally and even more so in Australia.
Featuring a freshly upholstered seat pad in the gorgeous Farniente range (indoor/outdoor) from Élitis (France) in the Aquarama colourway, which perfectly converses with the oak timber frame.
A gorgeous showpiece for any space and available to view via appointment at our Alexandria Studio.
Dimensions: 530mm wide x 515mm deep x 775mm high back & 465mm high seat
About the designer:
Danish mid-century designer and architect, Henning Kjaernulf is somewhat of a mystery. A lot more is known about his designs than Kjaernulf himself. His wooden designs, crafted to perfection, speak for themselves. Kjaernulf mainly designed for the Danish manufacturers EG Kvalitetsmobel, Nyrup Møbelfabrik, and Vejle Stole Møbelfabrik. The latter produced the designer’s well-known teak extending dining table design. The historic archives of the Danish municipality, Stenlille, reveal the history of Nyrup Møbelfabrik, mentioning Kjaernulf’s architectural designs for the company’s factory, referring to him as an architect based in Odense, Denmark.
Kjaernulf’s works reveal quality craftsmanship throughout, featuring clean Danish modern era lines with sculpted edges and shapes. The unique shapes, like his razorblade chair backrests, distinguish the designer from other Danish mid-century designers.
In light of how sought after his dining sets and lounge chairs are, it remains a mystery why so little is known about the designer. The curious background of Kjaernulf if anything, adds more charm to his pieces.
