The Spanish Chair is masterly interpretation of a traditional type of chair often found in areas influenced by ancient Islamic culture - from Andalusia to northern India. The chair draws inspiration from Spanish furniture from 1958, but with a modernised shape that eliminates the elaborate carvings while retaining the important broad armrests that give the chair character and provide a practical place to put a glass or cup.
These chairs are barely used. Very good condition. Designed by Borge Mogensen, 1958 Quarter-sawn solid oak or walnut, metal buckles, saddle leather Made in Denmark by Fredericia "My goal is to create items that serve people and give them the leading role, instead of forcing them to adapt to the items." -Borge Mogensen In 1958, Mogensen once again used solid wood and saddle leather to create the Spanish Chair for Fredericia. On a journey through Spain, Mogensen had noticed a traditional type of chair with wide armrests, common in areas influenced by ancient Islamic culture. Mogensen combined this notion with his earlier works and signature functionalism. The wooden construction of the Spanish Chair is formed with geometrical precision, achieving a sturdy design with exceptional durability and enduring character. Back home in Denmark, Mogensen presented the Spanish Chair at the Copenhagen Cabinet-makers Guild's Exhibition. The broad armrests serve as a practical place to place a glass or ashtray, allowing the user to dispense with occasional tables or other furniture from the surrounding area. In doing so he achieved a more open and informal space for relaxing and conversing. The materials used for The Spanish Chair are of the finest selection and execution, from the quarter-sawn solid oak or American walnut, to the vegetable tanned leathers and metal buckles. The rustic combination of materials develops a special patina that only becomes more stunning with time.
