Late 20th Century, Set of Eight “String” Chairs by Niels Jørgen Haugesen, 1970s
A beautiful set of eight “String” dining chairs designed by Niels Jørgen Haugesen for Tranekær Furniture, Denmark, in the late 1970s to 1980s. A defining example of modern Scandinavian minimalism, these chairs balance lightness, structure, and innovation in both material and form.
Each chair features a black-lacquered ash frame with a sculptural backrest made of tensioned nylon strings, creating a visually airy yet supportive construction. The seats are upholstered in black wool fabric, providing tactile comfort and subtle contrast to the sleek, architectural frame.
Haugesen’s “String” chair exemplifies the designer’s mastery of functional elegance and geometric precision, combining modern materials with a distinctly Danish sensibility. Both visually dynamic and ergonomically refined, this set offers a timeless presence in contemporary and classic interiors alike. These modern chairs will complement many interior styles. A Modern, Classic, Scandinavian or an Art Deco home decor.
