ABOUT PRODUCTID 5813
This set of four dining chairs, designed by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist for Finnish company Asko in the 1970s, exemplifies the hallmarks of Scandinavian modernism. The design features black wooden frames with a matte finish, gently tapered and slightly splayed legs, and tall, subtly arched backrests composed of multiple vertical spindles, lending an airy, architectural quality. The seats are upholstered in a vibrant, ruby-red fabric with a delicate geometric dot pattern, adding a sense of visual lightness and texture. Visible crossbars beneath the seat enhance structural stability, while the proportions—88 cm height, 42.5 cm width, 48 cm depth—ensure comfort at the dining table. The chairs display signs of age typical for vintage pieces: minor scuffs and edge abrasions on the wood, as well as local stains and wear to the upholstery. The set remains in good condition, with authentic patina and character preserved. These chairs narrate the story of Northern European design of their era: balanced lines, transparent construction, and attention to detail reflect the Scandinavian approach to daily life, where function and aesthetics coexisted without ostentation. The backrests evoke architectural motifs, as if echoing the rhythm of a Nordic landscape, while the contrast between the dark frame and red upholstery introduces a subtle dialogue between restraint and vibrancy. In retrospect, the ensemble appears to whisper of a search for harmony—embodied in objects meant to accompany generations. The set would work well in interiors inspired by Nordic or mid-century modern styles. It could be paired with a simple, light-toned wooden or glass dining table to highlight the clean lines and color accents. Consider combining them with minimalist lighting,
