Customizable Rosewood Dining Chairs by Kai Kristiansen for Schou Andersen, 1960s, Set of 8

Set of 8 1960s rosewood dining chairs with adjustable backrest by Kai Kristiansen for Schous Møbelfabrik.

The chairs have Kai Kristiansens typical light and elegant design that make them fit in easily where you want them in your home - a design that was so unique that his colleague the famous designer Hans J. Wegner characterized model 42 as beautiful from all angles when the chair was revealed in 1956.

The chairs have been restored and refinished by our cabinetmaker to insure that they are in very good condition with only minimal signs of age and use and will be reupholstered without extra charge in any Kvadrat' fabric of your choice before they are shipped.

This vintage piece can be upholstered in a range of fabrics by Kvadrat
The fabric in the images is a selection of Hallingdal 65.

Kvadrat’s first textile ‘Hallingdal’ has become the archetype of woolen textiles. The very durable upholstery fabric was originally designed in 1965 by Nanna Ditzel and is now available in a version with an updated color scale: Hallingdal 65.
Hallingdal 65 is made of wool and viscose, which complement each other well: the wool provides excellent durability and flexibility, whilst the viscose adds brilliance and depth to the color. Both materials are dyed before they are spun, which highlights the rich texture of the fabric.
Please note: colors displayed digitally may vary slightly from the actual product.
