Title: Danish Mid-Century Modern Model 113 Armchair in Oak & Original Cane by Nanna Ditzel for Kolds Savvaerk, Denmark, c. 1950'sAbout: This “Model 113” chair, with it's elegant and ergonomic shape, is instantly recognizable as being Danish Mid-Century Modern. As with most of Ditzel’s designs, like her iconic “Egg Chair” (c. 1959), the Model 113 chair is based on a circular shape as shown with the deep curvature of the backrest. This graceful curve is contrasted with the square, tapered shape of the legs and the smooth oak softens this juxtaposition; resulting in a balanced and clean-lined frame. The delicately hand-woven, multi-colored cane seat perfectly offset the deep richness of the solid oak frame. The slight bow of the seat flows with the curves of the frame, making the chair both cohesive and comfortable. This delicate chair, with it's use of premium materials and subtle elegance, showcases all of the best qualities of Danish Mid-Century Modern design.Nanna Ditzel (1923 - 2
