PAIR OF SCULPTED WALNUT MODEL NO. 711 LOUNGE CHAIRS
Designed by Frederik Kayser in 1961, produced by LK Hjelle, Norway, ca. 21st century | retails new for $ 4400-4900/each
Item # 312NWT08A
An exceedingly beautiful pair of chairs originally designed by Frederick Kayser in 1961 and produced by LK Hjelle of Norway in the last twenty years or so, there has simply been no expense spared in the careful craftsmanship of this chair. The solid walnut of each is endlessly sculpted and shaped to create an incredibly beautiful profile - the arms are the standout, each with a fantastic scooped profile terminating in large spheroid terminals on either end. Well considered machined steel hardware joins the frame to the seating allowing it to visually float apart from the frame. Gorgeous top-grain black leather finishes each chair.
These can still be found in production by LK Hjelle, generally for between $ 4400-4900 each depending on the finish and leather.
Measurements: 31" H x 17" H to seat; 27 3/8" D x 27 3/8" W
