Kurt Olsen Model 223 Danish Teak Armchair Including Re-Upholstery

Kurt Olsen Model 223 Danish teak armchair

This lovely stylish desk or side chair is currently in it’s original fabric but our price includes complete re-upholstery in anything except leather.

Kurt Olsen was one of a number of talented Danish designers who is best known today for his chair designs for a number of different makers. Slagelse was a small quality maker who specialised in making chairs in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. This model with it’s beautiful detailing dates to the late 1950’s or early 1960’s.

A good opportunity to have a rarely seen model in your own choice of colour and fabric for less than it would cost to buy a standard new Parker Knoll traditional wing chair that has been made in vast numbers over the last 60 years.

Condition
As you’ll see it’s currently in it’s original Danish wool fabric which unfortunately is badly worn. It’s typical of a group of extremely stylish fabrics that we’ve found usually in black and white but on this occasion it’s been a stunning emerald green. Every so often we come across a vintage fabric that we’d love to have copied and this is one of those occasions! Our price includes full re-upholstery by our in-house upholsterer but excludes fabric. We have accounts with Romo, Abraham Moon and Camira and can arrange for samples to be sent or you can arrange to send your own fabric.
The sculptured teak frame has been given a light clean and oil and has come up beautifully.
