John Vedel Rieper for Källemo, set of twelve dining chairs, oak, leather, Denmark, 1960s

This design features a constructive frame with sleek lines and geometric shapes. The seat is covered with cognac leather that complements the sturdy character of the chair. The backrest is slightly tilted, providing excellent comfort. In absence of decorative details, the design convinces visually through the well-balanced appearance and the stabile construction. The chair was first presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild exhibition in 1957.

Drop-leaf dining table, teak, brass, Denmark, 1950s

This extendable dining table of Danish origin is characterized by a strong and solid construction executed in teak. This is realized by the sharp and clear lines which are visible in the corners and the rectangular top. The teak has a natural expression due to the expressive wood grains and warm tone. The legs are well-proportioned based on a T-shaped structure, creating a balanced and clean composition which is typical for Danish Mid-Century Design. On both sides, this table contains an extra leaf to extend the table when desired. The drop-leaves are supported by a sophisticated mechanism executed in brass.
