The KK53130 Easy Chair was designed by Kaare Klint for the Copenhagen Saddlemakers’ and Upholsterers’ Guild’s 475th anniversary in 1935. The smooth and inviting lounge chair brilliantly showcases his expert upholstery skills.
Architect Kaare Klint (1888–1954) was a beacon of Danish design and, with his unique understanding of proportions, he laid the groundwork for the Danish Modern concept. Throughout his working life, in which he created a series of iconic design-led products, he insisted on clear, logical design and a distinctive style, using exquisite materials and superb workmanship.
Soft to the touch and pleasing to the eye
Kaare Klint, recognized as the father of modern Danish design, created the KK53130 Easy Chair when he was invited to join the Guild’s anniversary in 1935. Klint submitted a variety of distinct designs to the Guild’s celebratory competition under the title “Christmas 1934” – the elegant Easy Chair was amongst them featuring a loose, down-filled seat cushion. The Easy Chair was universally recognized as having perfect construction and very balanced proportions: deliberate features of Klint’s overall design philosophy. Praised as a very modern contribution due to its precise, tight lines and composition, the Easy Chair was then produced for the Guild’s 1937 Exhibition.
