Danish teak dining chairs from the 1950s–70s

Danish furniture factories used teak extensively in the post-war years, and the dining chairs from the period are known for their organic shapes, sculptural backrests and solid joints. Teak chairs are strong, light and easy to maintain, and they go well with teak tables, oak tables and modern tables alike.

Well-known models

Among the most sought-after are Kai Kristiansen's Model 31 and 42, N.O. Møller's chairs from J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, Johannes Andersen's chairs from Uldum Møbelfabrik, Erik Buch's Model 49 and Arne Vodder's chairs for Sibast. We also have many well-built teak chairs by Danish cabinetmakers whose designer is unknown. They offer the same quality at a lower price.

Seats in leather, wool and paper cord

Teak dining chairs come with seats in black or cognac leather, wool, upholstery fabric and paper cord. If the seats are worn, we can reupholster them in our own workshop, giving the chairs new life with the cover of your choice. Read more about reupholstery.

Caring for teak furniture

Teak is oiled and should not be lacquered. Wipe the chairs with a slightly damp cloth and treat them with teak oil once or twice a year to keep the wood's glow. Avoid placing the chairs directly next to a radiator or in strong sunlight for long periods.

Frequently asked questions about teak dining chairs

How can I recognise an original Kai Kristiansen or N.O. Møller chair?

Many original chairs have a manufacturer's stamp or label under the seat, and the construction and proportions also reveal a lot. All our chairs are examined by our appraiser, and we guarantee authenticity on the invoice.

Can you add more chairs of the same model?

Often, yes. We continuously buy popular models. Write to us with the model and number of chairs, and we will let you know when we have them.

Can the chairs get new covers?

Yes. Our workshop reupholsters in leather, wool and fabric and makes new paper cord seats.

Do you have a return policy?

Yes. When you buy on our website, you have a 14-day right of return from the day the item is delivered. Read more under delivery and payment.
