LM92 METROPOLITAN CHAIR
Kaare Klint created his iconic KK96620 Faaborg Chair in 1914 and presented the design to the public at
the inauguration of the Danish Faaborg Museum in 1915. The young Klint meticulously considered every
aspect of the Faaborg Chair to ensure it fulfiled its intended function. He arrived at a light and portable
solution that allowed museum visitors to position the chair in front of artworks they wished to study in
greater detail. The chair’s simple design and the unity between its structure, materials, and function set
it apart from its predecessors while showcasing Klint’s traditional design values and modern approach.
A seminal piece
of Danish modern
design
The LM92 Metropolitan Chair, designed by Ejner Larsen and Aksel Bender Madsen, was first shown at
the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1949. The new iteration is a harmonious example of
classic design and modern thinking. Named after the 1960 Arts of Denmark exhibition at The Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York, it was initially conceived as a conference chair but has since made its
way into the homes and hearts of design enthusiasts worldwide. The wooden frame showcases our
commitment to craftsmanship; its back and armrests are shaped from a single piece of veneer.
