Outstanding set of 8 (eight) sculptural dining chairs designed by Kai Kristiansen, c. 1950s. We purchased 12 of these with the intention of using in our personal home. We ended up going with another table that will not accommodate them, so while we are cringing, we must let them go. I can attest to how difficult it is to find a stylish true vintage Danish Modern matching set of 12 chairs….it took us forever and we deal in this stuff daily.
The chairs are a very rich solid teakwood (finish on them is almost as a rich as a rosewood) with black naugahyde upholstered seat and back. These are a great design that look terrific from every viewing angle. They are well made with attention to detail and solid. The chairs design contours to your body providing a perfect seat for extended periods with the utmost comfort.
Overall the set is in excellent condition. There are some minor rubs to the wood here and there that one would expect for a dining chair of this vintage. The internal seat and back padding is fine with some seats being a little firmer then others, but all very usable and comfortable.
If you do not care for the black color, these would a very easy upholstery job for you to have redone. Some of the chairs must have been around smokers at one point as traces of the smell are evident.
Its not grossly awful and will likely fade over time as they have been cooped up in storage (especially with a little help from some fabreeze or the like.) However, if your very sensitive to this sort of thing then you would need to have them reupholstered to have it instantly disappear (the smell is not in the teakwood, its mostly in the seats as they have cloth undersides).
