Pair of Danish chairs from the 1960s, designed by Ole Wanscher and produced by France & Son
Pair of Danish chairs from the 1960s, designed by Ole Wanscher and produced by France & Son. These chairs are made entirely of rosewood, with a rich grain and expressive veining. The design features elegant, organic lines, with delicately curved arms and backrests that adapt to the shape of the body. The seats and backrests, upholstered in light-colored fabric, complement the wooden structure, offering comfort and a harmonious visual contrast. The solid construction and meticulous finish demonstrate the craftsmanship typical of mid-20th-century Scandinavian furniture.
Era / Note
Ole Wanscher (1903–1985) was a central figure in Danish furniture design, known for his classical approach and relentless pursuit of formal and functional perfection. A student of Kaare Klint, Wanscher advocated that furniture should be durable, beautiful, and comfortable, with a timeless aesthetic. His collaboration with France & Son, a prominent Danish manufacturer of the time, resulted in high-quality pieces that are now considered icons of Scandinavian modernism. This pair of chairs is an excellent example of his design philosophy, combining elegance of form with nobility of material, and continues to be highly valued by collectors and design enthusiasts.
