A pair of iconic Model 121 “Paper Knife” lounge chairs designed by Kai Kristiansen and produced by Magnus Olesen in Denmark in the 1960s.
Renowned for their sculptural teak frames, organic armrests, and precise joinery, these chairs exemplify the timeless elegance of Danish mid-century modern design.
The wooden frames have undergone a complete restoration in our in-house workshop. The teak has been carefully cleaned, refreshed, and finished with hard oil-wax, bringing out its rich tone and natural grain.
The original wool upholstery has been preserved — it remains in very good condition, offering both comfort and authenticity while maintaining the vintage character of the pieces.
A beautifully proportioned and collectible set that combines Scandinavian craftsmanship, comfort, and understated sophistication.
Condition:
Excellent overall; restored teak frames, original wool upholstery in very good condition.

A refined example of Kai Kristiansen’s timeless Danish modern aesthetic.
