This is a fantastic set of eight sculptural dining chairs, model IK, designed by Inger Klingenberg and produced by Fristho Franeker in the Netherlands around 1960.
These chairs are crafted from beautiful rosewood and have a sleek, streamlined profile that emphasizes the wood's beautiful, natural grain and deep color. The design was innovative at the time by keeping the seat and backrest separate from the frame.
The timeless beauty of rosewood is combined with the refinement and durability of modern upholstery. The chairs have recently been completely reupholstered in high-quality genuine leather, of unparalleled quality and suppleness.
This choice not only enhances the aesthetics but is also highly practical: it provides a comfortable, easy-care seating option ideal for both everyday use and special occasions.
With their clean lines and elegant forms, the design reflects Klingenberg's dedication to functionality without compromising style. The combination of deep rosewood and black leather upholstery creates a luxurious and timeless look, making these chairs a versatile addition to any contemporary dining room. The set is in ready-to-use and very good condition, restored where necessary, and full of character.
