The Klint Chair, designed in 1936, epitomises the philosophy of its creator, Kaare Klint, who laid the foundations for Danish design and inspired great designers such as Børge Mogensen. Serving as a modern adaptation of a traditional English Country Chair, the Klint Chair exudes classic elegance. With its high back and carefully calibrated ergonomics, it becomes an exceptionally comfortable chair suitable for both dining and as a statement of craftsmanship.

Kaare Klint (1888-1954), the man behind classics such as the Safari Chair and the Faaborg Chair, is considered the father of Danish furniture design. For Kaare Klint, the son of architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint, exposure to architecture was a natural part of his early development. However, it was primarily as a furniture designer that Kaare Klint made his mark on Danish architecture.
