House Note · About this piece

The horseshoe-back chair, with a single curved rail wrapping round the sitter, was a favourite form of the Ming dynasty in China, and English cabinetmakers of the eighteenth century, caught up in the fashion for the Chinese taste, borrowed freely from Chinese chairs. In the 1940s Danish makers returned to the horseshoe back itself and simplified it, pairing a steam-bent rail with a woven cord seat. The result sits as easily in a kitchen in an English harbor town like Lymington as anywhere in Scandinavia.

This armless chair has a curved top rail that wraps round behind the shoulders and dips in the middle into a V, carried on two gently bowed uprights. The frame is solid hardwood in a choice of finishes, and the seat is woven from paper cord. Low rails between the legs brace the frame and double as a foot bar. It arrives fully assembled and is rated to hold 331 lbs.

It looks graphic around a white round table in a city kitchen, with a striped jug and a bunch of tulips. It is just as good in a café-style breakfast corner, at a desk in a living room or as an extra chair in a lounge. Wood and woven cord is a sure modern pairing: add white walls, a black pendant and a jute rug. This listing is for one chair.
