If you’re up on your Scandinavian design history, you might already know the name Kaare Klint. The architect is widely regarded as the founder of Danish Modernism - a movement which in turn fed into, and inspired, the Mid-Century Modern style which has become such a worldwide phenomenon. His designs inspired future furniture makers, such as Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, who brought forth a “Golden Age” in Nordic furniture.
One of Kaare Klint’s most famous designs, the Safari Chair has reached the grand old age of 90 this year. Introduced back in 1933, it’s a piece that feels just as contemporary as it did way back then - a timeless addition to any home. However, the launch of a new special edition of colours places the Safari Chair firmly in the here and now.
