“Compass” chair in teak by Kai Kristiansen – Scandinavian mid-century design

Elegant in its simplicity, the “Compass” chair designed by Kai Kristiansen represents one of the most iconic expressions of 1950s Scandinavian design. Made of fine teak, it stands out for its light and dynamic structure, characterized by the oblique lines of the rear legs and the suspended ergonomic backrest, which almost seems to float. Originally produced by Schiønning & Elgaard, this seat perfectly embodies the principles of Mid-Century Modern: functionality, comfort, and formal refinement. Ideal around a dining table or as a single piece in a sophisticated study, it is an authentic example of original vintage furniture, capable of dialoguing with contemporary interiors and designer collections.
