ABOUT PRODUCTID 11432
This armchair, designed by Johannes Norgaard in Denmark during the 1960s, combines a rosewood frame with a seat upholstered in black aniline leather. The wood features a deep, expressive grain highlighted by a semi-gloss finish, revealing natural tonal transitions throughout the structure. The chair’s construction is defined by gently tapered legs and a low, horizontal backrest. Clean, geometric lines and softly rounded edges create a cohesive, minimalist profile; armrests flow seamlessly into the frame, while precise, concealed joinery underscores Scandinavian craftsmanship. The seat has been recently restored and recovered with smooth, matte leather. The chair is stamped with a maker's mark beneath the seat. Overall, the condition is very good—only subtle discolorations typical of age are visible on the frame, with no noticeable damage or significant signs of wear.This piece carries the voice of 1960s northern Europe, when function and form were brought together in harmonious unity. The rosewood tells a story of material nobility—its rich texture, tangible to the touch, evokes the unhurried pace of traditional workshops. The leather, in contrast to the wood’s warmth, suggests a sense of focus and quiet, inviting restful moments at home. The minimalist form reflects confidence in simplicity and quality, forgoing unnecessary ornamentation in favor of enduring design values.The chair would suit a living room arranged in the spirit of mid-century modern or an eclectic, collector’s interior. It could be paired with a low coffee table in light wood, a graphite rug, or a lamp with a metal finish to highlight material contrasts. Consider combining it with textiles featuring pronounced textures, such as a woolen throw or a geometric-patterned cushion, and position it near potted plants or ceramic accents to draw out the organic character of the rosewood.
