Set of 2 lounge chairs by Kai Lyngfeld Larsen in teak Denmark 1960

Famous teak chaise longue model 501, also known as the ''Japan' chair, for Søborg Møbler by Kai Lyngfeld Larsen. Set of 2 very comfortable and robust sun loungers, which can also be used as modules to create a smaller or larger bench for example (4 pieces available). Teak is still very good and has a good strong color. The chair has nice details such as its tapered legs and punchy feet that form a good balance with the slightly straighter lines of the backrest. If you look at them from the back you will see that they are definitely not uninteresting to put in the middle of a room. The rounded sleepers work great in this chair and give them the Japanese look. Some interesting information about Sobørg Møbelfabrik: The Danish furniture manufacturer Søborg Møbelfabrik was founded in 1890 by cabinetmaker Jacob E. Jacobsen. Dedicated to producing high-quality furniture that showcases the Danish design tradition, Søborg Møbelfabrik, which has been run generation after generation by the Jacobsen family, has worked with some of Denmark's most famous mid-century furniture designers. Located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, the traditional woodworking workshop created by Jacob Jacobsen was modernized by his sons Arne (1899-1977, no relation to mid-century designer Arne Jacobsen) and Orla (1895-1980) when they took over in 1930. They collaborated with several important cabinetmakers, architects, and designers during the mid-century period, including Peter Hvidt (1916–1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907–1993), Mogens Lassen (1901–1987), Børge Mogensen (1914–1972), and Bernt Petersen (1937–2017). Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Søborg Møbelfabrik participated in the annual exhibitions organized by the Copenhagen Guild of Joiners. In 1942, architect Mogens Lassen designed a solid mahogany stool in the shape of a carved semicircle for the Carpenters' Guild furniture exhibition at the Museum of Industrial Art in Copenhagen. Other notable designs for Søborg include Mogensen's King of Diamonds Chair (1944) and the Chinese Cabinet (also 1944, exhibited at the Carpenters' Guild) and Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen's Cabinet No. 302, Sideboard No. 309a, Dining Room No. 311 together, and chairs No. 316 and 317 (all from the 1950s). In 1976, designer Christian Hvidt (born 1946) collaborated with Søborg, creating several designs of home and office furniture. His SM03, SM76 and SM200 wall units are among his most renowned creations.
