Model 42 Chairs by Kai Kristiansen
Description
Suite of 4 Iconic Chairs, Model 42, by Kai Kristiansen, Schou Andersen Edition (Sweden)
Delicacy and elegance are what best characterize Kristiansen’s modernist design. In 1956, he designed his most famous product, the No. 42 chair for Schou Andersen. The so elegantly curved and reclining backrest and the beautifully turned armrests create a timeless chair that is both beautiful and comfortable. Their graphic shape, sleek and assertive, give chic to these chairs. Thanks to its continued success and comfort, this chair is considered one of the major pieces of Danish design of the twentieth century, including in North America.
