Vilhelm Lauritzen 'VLA61' Chair for Carl Hansen & Son.
 
The story of Danish Modern begins in 1908 when Carl Hansen opened his first workshop. His firm commitment to beauty, comfort, refinement, and craftsmanship is evident in iconic pieces designed by such legends as Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Kaare Klint, Poul Kjærholm, Vilhelm Lauritzen and others. Now in its third generation as a family run business, Carl Hansen & Son maintains its legacy through skillful work with the highest quality materials, sustainably producing Danish design classics by past icons and influential new designers.
 
Originally designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen in 1944, only ten of the 'VLA61 Monarch' chairs were initially fabricated. Its minimalist design, functionalist brass details and elegant interplay between soft upholstery and the carefully handcrafted frame have been meticulously brought to life in this Carl Hansen & Son re-edition. Available in several variants, selection of fabric or leather upholstery, as well as with option for COM/COL for an additional fee.
 
Price is per item. Available in unlimited quantities with frame in oak soap, oak oil, oak white oil, or mahogany oil. Upholstery in Baru fabric, choice of 2 leather groups, or COL/COM. Kindly specify fabric or leather color when ordering.
