60s Kai Kristiansen dining chair for Bovenkamp set/4

Danish designer Kai Kristiansen was born in 1929. Kai started with cabinetmaking before he went to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under the highly influential designer Kaare Klint. At the age of 26, Kristiansen opened his own studio and began to create furniture in what would soon became known as the Danish modern style. His designs would be produced by well-known Danish manufacturers, such as Feldballes Møbelfabrik, Fornem Møbelkunst, Fritz Hansen, and Magnus Olesen. In true Danish modern fashion, Kristiansen favored well-joined teak and rosewood, evident equally in his chairs, desks, sideboards, and wall units. In 1956, he designed his most celebrated work, the No. 42 Chair for Schou Andersen. Kai also designed chairs for the dutch company Bovenkamp. This set of 4 arm chairs also, in the 1960s. The chairs have a solid wooden frame and black faux leather upholstery. Marked with the Bovenkamp brandmark at the bottom of the seat. The set is in good condition consistent with age and use.
