Description A distinguished set of eight Model 31 chairs, conceived in 1956 by the celebrated Danish designer Kai Kristiansen and handcrafted in Denmark by Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik. Born in the golden age of Scandinavian modernism, the Model 31 is admired for its quiet mastery of form and function. The gently curved backrest is shaped to follow the human body, offering natural comfort, while the solid wood frame—traditionally executed in teak or rosewood—reveals the precision and integrity of mid-century Danish craftsmanship. Every line is purposeful, every joint a testament to a time when furniture was made to endure. The chairs have undergone a careful and thorough restoration. All wooden surfaces have been meticulously sanded and refinished with Fiddes hardwax oil, enhancing the natural grain while providing lasting protection. Each structure has been fully stress-tested, re-glued where necessary, and tightened using traditional hand-craft methods, ensuring that every chair is solid, stable, and true. The set is offered ready for upholstery, allowing the future owner to complete it according to personal taste. Upholstery may be selected from Spradling vinyls or from Baumann and Creation fabrics; samples from all suppliers can be provided upon request. We are also pleased to work with the client’s own material, in which case a £400 deduction will be applied.
