SCANDINAVIAN MODERN "SAFARI" CHAIR ATTRIBUTED TO WILHELM KIENZLE
Lacquered beechwood, brand new artisan-made saddle leather | circa 1970s
Item # 301XUJ28D-1
This exquisite chair, crafted in the "Safari" style, exemplifies Scandinavian design principles with its blend of functionality and aesthetics. Designed to be fully disassembled for easy transport, this piece is often attributed to Wilhelm Kienzle. The chair is constructed entirely from solid beechwood, transitioning from squared sections to finely tapered legs, ensuring durability and longevity when properly maintained.
The chair's leatherwork is particularly noteworthy. Recently updated to replace the worn canvas upholstery, the new artisan-made saddle leather adds a touch of luxury and resilience.
We may still have a second matching chair available to perfectly go ensuite with this chair. Our gallery has a large stock of Scandinavian "Safari" chairs, some in original leather, many refreshed with brand new leather. View our stock for other examples.
