Design story
Danish mid‑century side chairs, designed by Peter Hvidt and produced by France & Son circa 1965, showcase the refined craftsmanship and architectural clarity that define Scandinavian modern design. Constructed in warm‑toned solid teak, each chair features a compact, sculptural frame with straight square‑section legs, open backs, and broad curved rails shaped to follow the body.
Distinctive exposed finger joints anchor the backrests, highlighting the cabinetmaker precision for which Hvidt is celebrated. Central vertical supports and neatly fitted seat rails reinforce the structure while maintaining a light, elegant silhouette. The proportions are comfortable and versatile, making these chairs ideal for dining, occasional seating, or as accent pieces in a modern interior.
A timeless example of mid‑century Danish craftsmanship, combining functional design with warm natural materials.
