Kurt Østervig Danish Modern Dining Chair with Papercord Seat, 1950s

This sculptural dining chair is attributed to Danish designer Kurt Østervig (1912–1986), celebrated for his organic and functional mid-century creations. Produced circa 1950s–60s, the chair features a beautifully curved backrest, tapered legs, and a refined frame crafted from rich, dark-stained wood, likely beech or teak. The handwoven papercord seat, a hallmark of Scandinavian craftsmanship, adds a natural, textural contrast while providing strength and comfort. This variant is closely related to Østervig’s iconic dining chair designs for KP Møbler, though the papercord seat is less common compared to leather or fabric versions. A striking example of Scandinavian Modern design, this chair would serve as a standout dining or accent piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with some honest wear. The frame shows scratches, scuffs, and finish wear consistent with age. The papercord seat displays stains and signs of use, with an old skillful repair visible in the final photo. Overall, the chair remains sturdy and highly presentable.
