The result is a comfortable yet visually light dining chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe current upholstery needs to be redone: the six chairs can therefore be customized by choosing a new fabric from those we have available.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an interesting opportunity, especially for a complete set, as it allows for intervention on color and texture while maintaining the rosewood structure and the identity of the design intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eArranged around a large table, the Compass Chairs create a very recognizable composition without appearing uniform or rigid. \u003cstrong\u003eA set of vintage modern furniture that brings together some central characteristics of mid-century Danish design:\u003c\/strong\u003e attention to construction, expressive use of wood, and a form designed first and foremost in relation to the body and daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCOUNTRY OF PRODUCTION: Denmark\u003cbr\u003eDESIGNER: Kai Kristiansen\u003cbr\u003eMODEL: Compass Chair\u003cbr\u003eDESIGN PERIOD: 1960\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCTION PERIOD: 1960\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: Mid-Century Modern, Danish design\u003cbr\u003eMATERIAL: rosewood, fabric\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: dark brown, green\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS: H 77 cm | W 51 cm | D 50 cm | SEAT HEIGHT 44 cm\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT RANGE: 0-40 kg\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: good vintage condition; upholstery to be redone and customizable (workmanship cost included)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STOV VINTAGE FURNITURE DESIGN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53991066304859,"sku":"843","price":4271.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4444\/9115\/files\/IMG_1473.jpg?v=1788774884","url":"https:\/\/stovfurniture.com\/en-us\/products\/set-6-compass-chairs-kai-kristiansen","provider":"STOV VINTAGE FURNITURE DESIGN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
