Charlottenborg Chair

The AJ-25-SU Charlottenborg Lounge chair is designed by Arne Jacobsen and handmade in Indonesian sustainable rattan. The chair is made in the colour natural which is original and suitable for every occasion. The fine bindings in the seat and back are made by skilled wicker workers. This charismatic armchair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1936 and shown for the first time at Charlottenborg's spring exhibition in 1937. Originally called the Chair AJ 237 and was part of a series of original wicker chairs. The curving shapes became very characteristic of Arne Jakobsen's many famous chair designs, which can be traced in some of his early pieces of furniture. The armchair has a quite unconventional shape, where the elegant curved back of solid rattan goes in one with the armrests, both of which are beautifully integrated into the bottom of the chair. In addition to the rattan frame, the chair is fitted with a firm padded seat that comes in many different durable fabric variants. The elegant and comfortable chair is a beautiful contribution to any modern sofa. In fact, the Charlottenborg chair was reportedly Arne Jacobsen's favourite armchair in his famous cottage on the Bay of Sails. The chair is made in the material Manau & Tohiti. A cushion can be purchased for the back in any optional fabric, sewn on our Danish sewing department.
