Description
These are some of the most elegant teak dining chairs we have seen from Danish designer Erik Buch (Attributed). Buch’s creations exemplified simple, organic Scandinavian style and this is evident in these gorgeous chairs. Comprising 4 standard chairs and 2 carver style armchairs, this design marks a high point. Every detail has been considered in the construction of these chairs. Subtle tapered legs and in the original oatmeal fabric.
Danish industrial designer Erik Buch was born in 1923 in Copenhagen. Designing in the Scandinavian modern style, Buch’s organic and functional aesthetic resulted in furniture that spanned chairs, stools, and cabinets. Like many of his Danish contemporaries, Buch combined fabric and leather with nicely grained woods, such as polished teak, oak, and rosewood. Buch first found success with his Model 49 chair(1949). The chair, which is produced in both carver and dining chair styles, features a curved “floating” seat and a classic Scandinavian modern aesthetic. Many of Buch’s designs are named after the year in which they were conceived, especially those produced by the cabinetmaker and furniture manufacture Oddense Maskinsnedkeri. Oddense was renamed O.D. Møbler in the late 1960s or early ‘70s, which is reflected on the labels of later Model 61 productions. Little is known of his personal life, but his professional legacy remains as his designs continue to be appreciated on the vintage market for their high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and Scandinavian aesthetic.
These super stylish chairs are structurally sound and the wood is in nice condition. The fabric is marked in places and frayed in places so You’ll likely be purchasing these to have them recovered in a fabric of your choice. The price has been heavily discounted to reflect this.
