Kaare Klint (b. Frederiksberg 1888, d. Copenhagen 1954)
“Safari Chair”. A pair of ash wood armchairs. Full grain leather armrests. Seat and back upholstered with light canvas. Made by Rud. Rasmussen Cabinetmakers. (2)
In 1933 Professor Kaare Klint designed his variation of the “Safari-chair” with the goal 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. Source: Rud. Rasmussen Cabinetmakers.
