Title: Mid-Century Danish Modern Model 806 Lounge Chair in Wood & Leather by Fredrik Kayser for Vatne Møbler, Norway, c. 1960s
About: Introducing an iconic model 806 lounge chair designed by Fredrik A. Kayser for Vatne Møbler. Found in stunning original, vintage condition this 806 chair is ideal for designers and collectors alike searching for an authentic Kayser chair that is ready for a lifetime more of use. Constructed from solid wood replete with variegated woodgrains unique to the species, this incredibly comfortable lounge chair features the original leather upholstery found in superb shape.
Fredrik A. Kayser is a well-loved furniture designer from the Scandinavian Design period of the mid-twentieth century. Fredrik began his carpentry apprenticeship right after the middle school exam. At the age of 15, he had already drawn his first dining room, which was put into production at Viken Møbelfabrikk. Kayser got his diploma at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo in 1945, the same year he started his career at the Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor.
Kayser's furniture is characterized by elegant design and material sensitivity, with a rare sense of proportions and composition. In his most famous design, “Krysset”, the front and back legs are fixed together by four wood nails that in a refined way emphasize the construction. Kayser was inspired by the trends of the time, but always managed to give his creations a unique personal touch, with elegance that made them instant classics like this model 806 chair.
Vatne Møbler is a renowned Norwegian furniture manufacturer established in 1946 by Knut Sæter, celebrated for its mid-century modern designs and iconic collaborations. Best known for Sigurd Ressell’s iconic 1970s "Falcon" chair, the company produced high-quality, Scandinavian-style furniture, including leather lounges, armchairs, and sofas by designers like Fredrik A. Kayser.
Able to blend against a myriad of design backdrops from mid-century modern to Contemporary to minimalism and everything in between this low back lounger was built for comfort. In such immaculate original, vintage condition this 806 chair won't last long. Make it yours today before its gone forever.
