Model 42 chair by Kai Kristiansen

The Z chair, also known as chair #42, was designed by Kai Kristiansen and produced by Slagelse Møbelvaerk. This chair gets its Z shape from the suspended backrest. It's a classic. This dining or desk chair is made of solid teak with minimal signs of age and use after 60 years! At first glance, the chair might look slightly uncomfortable, but it is actually very comfortable. The short armrests are better sized than typical ones, showing Kristiansen's thoughtful design. The chair is made of teak, and the seat and back have been reupholstered in high-quality retro leatherette, which closely resembles the original upholstery. The subtle shine and quality of this material are confirmed by customers. Furnip rates the Z-chair with an 8.5 for comfort.
