This set of two Model 42 Z-chairs was designed by Kai Kristiansen for Schou Andersen in Denmark during the Mid-Century Modern era. The chairs are celebrated for their distinctive angular profile and ergonomic design, making them a canonical example of Danish design.
Constructed from solid teak, the frames feature the signature Z-shaped armrests that give the model its name. The seats and pivoting backrests are upholstered in a vibrant blue textile, providing a striking contrast against the warm tones of the wood. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of Danish furniture production from the period.
The chairs are in great condition, retaining their structural integrity and original character. The teak frames show a beautiful patina consistent with age and careful use, while the upholstery remains vibrant and intact.
These chairs are an excellent addition to a dining room or as standalone accent pieces in a living area. Their timeless design pairs seamlessly with both vintage Scandinavian interiors and contemporary spaces.
