Elegant pair of mahogany Armchairs designed by Ole Wanscher. Beautifully worked curved backrests and comfortable leather cushions in black. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen. Ole Wanscher first ran an architecture studio specialized on furniture design, followed by him holding several relevant positions in influential Danish institutions like Copenhagens Arts and Crafts school and head of Danske Danske Arkitekters Landsforbunds exhibitions board. Being one of the main protagonists of classical Danish Modernism, his own take on it was working with historical analogies of eg. English and Oriental furniture, translating them into a well-received contemporary form language. He shares an important influence on Danish Modernism together with Hans Wegner, Borge Mogensen, Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen.
