1960s Ejnar Larsen and Axel Bender Madsen Teak Dining Chairs

About the Item

Two dining chairs in teak and leatherette designed by Ejnar Larsen and Axel Bender Madsen and produced by Glyngøre Stolefabrik in the 1960s The dining chairs are in good condition and have a very streamlined modern flare to them with backrests which feature an interesting scalloped shape and deep contour for comfort. The rear posts are of interest having a rounded rear surface but a flat cut to the front surface. The seats are covered in a black leatherette which wraps around the frame and is in very good condition. If you wish to have the chairs reupholstered we are happy to make an offer and reupholster them with fabric or leather within two weeks. Ejnar Larsen was a Danish furniture designer who worked closely together with Aksel Bender Madsen. Son of cabinetmaker Otto Larsen, he was born in Copenhagen on 30 March 1917. After training as a cabinetmaker, he learnt furniture design at the Design School in Copenhagen, qualifying in 1940. Thereafter he worked with furniture designers Mogens Koch, Peter Koch and Palle Suenson. From 1942, he designed his own models which he exhibited at the annual Cabinetmakers Guild's exhibitions in Copenhagen. While studying under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he met Aksel Bender Madsen who became his partner. In 1947, they established a design studio together. The same year, they presented works made by cabinetmaker Willy Beck at the Cabinetmakers Guild's exhibition in Copenhagen where they continued to participate year after year. In addition to sculptural chair designs, they also designed living rooms, bedrooms, shelving, dining tables, and office furniture. Their most notable work is the Metropolitan Chair, in bent plywood, which was exhibited in 1949 and manufactured by Fritz Hansen from 1952. All their works have a clear, timeless, simple style which continues to please today.
