“Safari Chair”. Armchair with ash frame. Seat, back, and loose cushion with patinated cognac-coloured leather. Armrests suspended with patinated natural leather. Made by Rud. Rasmussen cabinetmakers.
In 1933 professor Kaare Klint designed “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.
