A gorgeous solid teak child's high chair designed by Nanna Ditzel (known as “the First Lady of Danish design”) for Kold Savvaerk, Denmark, 1955. Ditzel designed the chair for her twin girls, Vita and Lulu, born in 1954. It won the Lunning Prize for design in 1956. Wonderfully sculptural yet simple. This is an iconic piece of Danish design and is often featured in design books. Adjustable foot rest. Beautifully rendered in warm teak, early edition. This chair retains the original removable teak ‘seatbelt’, rarely seen on these chairs after 65 years.
This chair is in outstanding condition for its age and use. Provenance: from the collection of a family who purchased a houseful of furniture in Denmark in the 1950s and had it shipped over to the US, where it remained in storage for many years. It was extraordinarily well-cared for, along with the rest of the Arne Vodder and Finn Juhl furniture we obtained from the same collection.
