KK96620 Faaborg Chair

KK96620 Faaborg Chair is an armchair from the Danish brand Carl Hansen designed by Kaare Klint. The chair was designed in 1914 and was first presented at the opening of Faaborg Museum in 1915. It is often considered the first Danish modern design classic and marks the start of a new era for Danish furniture design, which later became a global reference point during the modernism of the 1950s.

Kaare Klint placed great emphasis on the armchair being lightweight and portable so that museum visitors could easily place it in front of artworks they wanted to study more closely. The chair is distinguished by its simple form and the thoughtful balance between design, material and function, which reflects Klint's traditional values and his modern approach. The elegant silhouette highlights Klint's understanding of proportion and his ability to unite architecture and furniture form in a coherent design.
