Set of 2 lounge chairs by Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen in teak and mahogany, Denmark, 1960s.

Famous 501 model lounge chair in teak, also known as the "Japan" chair, for Søborg Møbler by Kai Lyngfeld Larsen. Very comfortable and sturdy set of 2 lounge chairs, which can also be used as modules to create, for example, a small bench or a larger one (4 pieces available). The teak is still in very good condition and has a beautiful rich color. The chair features lovely details such as tapered legs and marked feet that create a good balance with the straighter lines of the backrest. Viewed from the back, they are certainly not uninteresting to place in the middle of a room. The rounded crossbars work very well on this chair and give it a Japanese look. Some interesting information about Søborg Møbelfabrik: The Danish furniture manufacturer Søborg Møbelfabrik was founded in 1890 by cabinetmaker Jacob E. Jacobsen. Dedicated to producing high-quality furniture that showcases the tradition of Danish design, Søborg Møbelfabrik, managed from generation to generation by the Jacobsen family, has worked with some of the most famous mid-century furniture designers in Denmark. Located in the suburbs of Copenhagen, the traditional cabinet-making workshop established by Jacob Jacobsen was modernized by his sons Arne (1899-1977, not related to mid-century designer Arne Jacobsen) and Orla (1895-1980) when they took over the business in 1930. They collaborated with several cabinetmakers, architects, and young design talents during the mid-century period, including Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907-1993), Mogens Lassen (1901-1987), Børge Mogensen (1914-1972), and Bernt Petersen (1937-2017). Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Søborg Møbelfabrik participated in the annual exhibitions organized by the Copenhagen Guild of Cabinetmakers. In 1942, architect Mogens Lassen designed a solid mahogany stool in the shape of a sculpted semicircle for the Guild of Cabinetmakers' furniture exhibition at the Museum of Industrial Art in Copenhagen. Other notable creations for Søborg include Mogensen's King of Diamonds Chair (1944) and the Chinese Cabinet (also 1944, exhibited at the Guild of Cabinetmakers), as well as cabinet No. 302 by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen, sideboard No. 309a, dining set No. 311, and chairs No. 316 and 317 (all from the 1950s). In 1976, designer Christian Hvidt (born 1946) collaborated with Søborg, creating several furniture models for home and office. His wall units SM03, SM76, and SM200 are among his most renowned creations. Dimensions Width: 55 cm Height: 69 cm
