Description

JUUL KRISTENSEN (Denmark) for Glostrup Møbelfabrik. Armchair, 1960's. Teak, upholstered in fine wool. With label of the firm. Measurements: 100 x 80 x 79 cm. Armchair designed by Juul Kristensen and manufactured in Denmark by Glostrup Møbelfabrik in the 1960s. The teak wood structure, with the arms and legs (the later ones oblique) carved in an organic form, as well as the openwork backrest, show an exceptional work, genuinely Nordic in the handcrafted treatment of the finishes. Edges have been avoided in the structure as a whole, which gives it fluidity in its lines and warmth in its appearance. The seat and back cushions are covered with fine wool fabric. Juul Kristensen began his career working for Danish design and furniture companies such as Fritz Hansen and Rosendahl A/S. In 1969 he founded his own design company, Juul Kristensen Design, which produced furniture, lighting and home accessories. Throughout his career, Kristensen has received numerous awards and prizes for his design achievements, including the Prix d'Excellence from the Danish Design Foundation in 1974 and the Grand Danish Design Award in 1987. His designs are often characterized by their simplicity and functionality, and by the use of natural materials such as wood and leather. His best-known creations include the "Kilin" armchair for Fritz Hansen and the "Diva" desk lamp for Le Klint. Juul Kristensen is considered one of the most influential Danish designers and helped shape the modern Scandinavian design aesthetic. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 79.
