It’s Danish design in its most pure form. The chair was designed in 1956 and was produced by the (still existing) Frederica Stolefabrik. The frame is made out of solid oak and the webbing is all cane (except for the footstool). Both the seat and back can slide to an upright or more comfortable position. The craftsmanship of the woodwork is exquisite and shows beautiful joints. Cushions and headrest are new in a bold wool/alpaca/mohair blend by Pierre Frey.

The cane shows significant signs of of age, but is all original. with the cushion the chair can be used without a problem. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
