Description

A beautiful example of the “X-Chair” by the Danish designers' Hvidt & Molgaard-Nielsen. The name originates from the distinctive X-shaped side frames of the chair creating a flowing, unbroken lines of the profile view.

In 1959, the maker, Fritz Hansen who was a specialist in laminate wood – developed the technique called ‘steam bending’, which ultimately led it to become the world leader in the field. The bentwood side frames form an important detail, as Hvidt and Mølgaard-Nielsen developed a specific technique of building up layers of laminate around a solid centre. The patinated brass crossbars provide a contemporary air while the seat and back are comprised of the original, neatly woven cane, completing the chair with an organic look.
