Mid-century modern Scandinavian mahogany armchair with French wicker by Bernt Petersen.

This very rare armchair was designed in 1964 by Bernt Petersen for the Danish manufacturer Wørts Møbelsnedkeri in the 1960s. The frame of the armchair is made of light mahogany wood with woven French rattan. It fills the high back as well as the sides of the armchair, forming the armrests. Three loose cushions are covered in high-quality natural fabric in a sandy colour. The perfect proportions of the chair ensure great comfort during use. Simple lines, natural materials, and light colours of wood and upholstery fabrics are the perfect showcase of mid-century Danish design. Bernt Petersen is a Danish architect and furniture designer. In 1957, he graduated from a carpentry school, and in 1960, he graduated from the design school of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he later worked as a teacher from 1978 to 1985. He also worked for Molibia and Hans J. Wegner before opening his own studio in 1963. Petersen is known for his simple style, and his furniture was primarily made of light wood. Several models can be found in concert halls and theatres across Denmark. The object most associated with the designer is a small lightweight stool made of rosewood and cane, with beautifully shaped legs, which was created in 1959. The armchair is in original vintage condition. It has minor signs of age and a natural patina. The seat height is 42 cm.
