FAABORG CHAIR
Kaare Klint created his iconic Faaborg Chair in 1914 and first presented the landmark
design to the public at the inauguration of the Danish Faaborg Museum in 1915.
Contemplate a significant piece of artwork, in an artwork. This iconic design is one
of life’s rare pleasures, designed for everyone who appreciates beauty.
Widely regarded as the first Danish modern design classic,
the chair ushered in a new era for Danish design, creating
a foundation for the Danish Modern phenomenon that
emerged onto the global stage in the 1950s.
The young Klint meticulously considered every aspect of the
Faaborg Chair to ensure it fulfilled its intended function,
arriving at a light and portable solution that allowed museum
visitors to position the chair before artworks they wished to
study in greater detail.
The Faaborg Chair’s unadorned 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.
The elegant form highlights Klint’s outstanding sense of
space and proportion and his ability to combine architecture
and design into a seamless whole.
