Rosewood, seats upholstered with turquoise wool
A set of ten rosewood dining chairs designed by Kurt Østervig in Denmark during the 1960s. Crafted from richly grained rosewood, the chairs embody the harmony of sculptural form and functional elegance that characterises Scandinavian modern design. The gently curved, moulded backrests offer both comfort and visual rhythm, while the turquoise wool upholstery provides a refined contrast to the depth of the wood.
Østervig’s work reflects the essence of Danish design, where craftsmanship and modernist ideals coexist with a deep respect for natural materials. In this set, the precise joinery and tapering legs demonstrate the exceptional standards of mid-century Danish cabinetmaking.
Combining architectural clarity with organic warmth, these Kurt Østervig chairs are outstanding examples of mid-century Scandinavian furniture, admired for their timeless presence and understated sophistication.
