Vintage Danish Teak Dining Chairs by Niels Koefoed for Koefoed’s Hornslet

A beautiful and quietly sculptural pair of vintage Danish dining chairs, model Morten, designed by Niels Koefoed for Koefoed’s Hornslet and made in Denmark. With their softly rounded frames, open arched backrests, and balanced proportions, these chairs carry the refined, understated design language that made Koefoed’s work so enduring in Danish modern interiors. Koefoed’s Hornslet is known for elegant dining chair designs that combine comfort, strong cabinetmaking, and sculptural restraint. Niels Koefoed remains one of the maker’s most recognisable designers, and the Morten model reflects that legacy beautifully: minimal, architectural, and warm in material expression. What makes this pair especially appealing is the silhouette of the backrest: a broad curved crest flowing into an open cut-out that gives the chairs an airy, almost architectural presence while still feeling soft and organic. The frames show the beautiful grain and warm tone of teak, and the seats retain their original upholstery, adding to the authentic vintage character of the pair. The maker’s stamp, “Made in Denmark by Koefoed’s Hornslet, ” is present, confirming origin and production. Details. Set: pair / set of 2 dining chairs. Origin: Denmark. Maker: Koefoed’s Hornslet.
