Story
An English Country Chair, modernised
Fredericia dates the Klint Chair to 1936 and says it epitomises the philosophy of Kaare Klint, who laid the foundations for Danish design. The text calls it a modern adaptation of a traditional English Country Chair that exudes classic elegance.
Comfort without foam
The page credits the chair's high back and carefully calibrated ergonomics for making it an exceptionally comfortable chair, suitable for both dining and as a statement of craftsmanship. Its paper cord seat is presented as a plastic-free alternative to polyurethane foams.
