In 1933 professor Kaare Klint designed the “Safari-chair” with special attention to design a simple and portable easy chair. He was inspired by an English officer's chair which he had seen in a travel book from Africa. Constructing a chair which could easily be disassembled and assembled without using any tools Klint maintained the field equipment purpose of the chair. Source: Rud. Rasmussen Cabinetmakers. Literature: Noritsugu Oda, “Danish Chairs”, ill. p. 26.
Good condition with minor wear due to age and use, including slight scratches on the legs. One chair with a minor fading/discolouration on the left armrest.
