Iconic "Harp" chair designed by Jørgen Høvelskov and manufactured by Christensen & Larsen, Denmark 1968. Inspired by the arching curves of the bow and stern of a Viking boat, the chair was initially named the Viking Chair when exhibited for the first time in 1963. Afterward, because the woven rope resembled the strings of a harp, it was later introduced by a journalist as the Harp Chair and to be known as one of Høvelskov's finest examples of his visually imposing design ideas. The beauty of the chair is in its construction with its curvature legs that are joined in the center, showcasing Hovelskov’s architectural expertise. The minimalistic approach to its fabrication gives it an element of functional beauty pertinent to the Danish Modern style. The beautifully woven rope seat adapts to the sitter’s shape, making for comfort, and the swooping curve of the central piece from the low front to a high arching backrest cradles the body, mimicking the carved front of a Viking war-ship. The frame is crafted in solid cherry wood. Amazing sculptural lounge chair in fantastic original condition. A real nice catch for any modern home, office or interior.
