Title: Set of Two (2) Model 109 Lounge Chairs by Ole Wanscher for John Stuart in Solid Walnut in Original Fabric, c. 1956
About: Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) was integral to the core aesthetic and functionality of modern Danish design. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later worked at Klint’s design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. Wanscher’s classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper 'Politiken' wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”. Today, his modern classics are still revered for their detail and his deep respect for materials and it shows with these particular arm chairs made for John Stuart. With meticulously sculpted arms, exquisite walnut woodgrains bent to the perfect shape, and subtle angles these chairs are the epitome of functional art. At time of publishing, this is the only model made by Wanscher for John Stuart available for sale in North America so when they're gone, they're gone forever. Make them yours today.
