An example of mid-century Danish design, this single Henning Kjærnulf brutalist oak armchair embodies the designer's iconic "razorback" style. Manufactured by EG Møbler in Denmark around the 1960s, this piece shows very good craftsmanship and bold aesthetic vision.
The armchair is constructed from solid, patinated oak, showcasing a rich, warm patina and the strength of the material. Its most striking feature is the high, architectural backrest with its signature "razor blade" carved horizontal slats, providing a dramatic and sculptural focal point.
The chair's design balances the robust, almost primitive lines of the Brutalist movement with the refined elegance of Danish modernism, incorporating subtly curved arms and elegantly shaped front legs that nod to historical styles like Danish Baroque. This armchair adds a touch of vintage sophistication to a living room, study, or office. It is in very good vintage condition, showing light wear on the wood consistent with its age and history, which only adds to its unique charm. We have cleaned the wood and gave it oil.
The upholstery on the seat is useable, though the fabric shows some sign of use, please see photos for reference.
NB: As seen in the photos, this armchair can be paired with another sharing the identical structure featuring a different upholstery. Feel free to contact us or check our listings for more images of its twin.
