EASY CHAIR
Soft to the touch and pleasing to the eye, this Klint chair with its perfect
construction and balanced proportions is easy to fall in love with.
The Copenhagen Saddlemakers’ and Upholsterers’ Guild’s 475th anniversary in 1935
offered Kaare Klint an opportunity to showcase his excellent upholstery skills.
Klint submitted four distinct designs to the Guild’s
celebratory competition under the title “Christmas 1934”:
the Red Chair with armrests; a sofa bed upholstered with
Greek fabric; a sectional sofa; and the elegant, upholstered
Easy Chair featuring a loose, down-filled seat cushion.
Lauded as a very modern contribution due to its precise,
tight lines and composition, the Easy Chair was produced
for the 1937 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition.
