Historically, and in present day, Danish design is at the forefront in aesthetics, materials and style. 

We love how designs from the last century are as popular now as ever; and reproductions, official copies, modernised versions and inevitably scandalous rip-offs are everywhere, offering a range of prices to the consumer  who loves a particular style. 

Firm favourite Cult Furniture have a virtual and actual store bursting at the seams with modern models of incredible furniture from the last century. 

Our favourite find is the Hans J Wegner CH25 chair, with its curves and contours, it’s a beautiful edition to an interior. 

”Danish design is undoubtedly timeless and adds a touch of sophistication and charm to any space. The Hans J Wegner CH25 chair is no exception! 

Designed in 1950 by ‘the king of chairs’ Hans Wegner, reproduced by Cult Furniture for modern homes today. The CH25 chair is crafted from high-quality materials and will look great in any space. Think of a laid-back lounge, living room or timeless hotel. 

The Hans J Wegner CH25 chair features a curved wooden frame available in a variety of colours. The woven seat is available in natural or black cord.”

home: favourite thing [ IKEA rocking chair ] 

This week we look at a new piece in the IKEA range and it’s an immediate favourite.

The new GRONADAL chair is a modern take on the traditional woven rattan rocking chair. 

As with the nature of a hand woven piece – every chair is one of a kind. The structure is built from beautiful natural materials – ash and rattan. 

The design is modern and light weight and would look perfect in a cool minimal Scandi-influenced designed home. 

£145 

The designer says;
The idea behind GRÖNADAL rocking chair was to make a rocking chair that joins different materials and expressions in unexpected ways. Rattan and ash are vibrant natural materials that age beautifully, and create an interesting contrast to the powder-coated steel. The seat and back are hand-woven using traditional techniques, while the light shape brings modern Scandinavian design to mind. Every part is made with love and care – which I hope you’ll feel when using it.

We have a bit of an obsession with chairs, and always looking out for new designs or classic reproductions. We think the Hee Chair from HAY is one of those chairs that just oozes style packaged within a very simple but clever design. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

‘The philosophy behind the Hee Chair was to take an archetypal chair and perfect it down to the last detail while cutting the expression to the minimum. The goal was to create a contemporary chair that would fit into a wide range of contexts. The attempt was successful, and the Hee series is a pragmatic and easily decoded chair series. Like a line drawing, it wraps metre after metre of metal wire into neat, straight lines in three versions: bar stool, lounge chair and dining chair.

The metal wire is electro-galvanized before it is lacquered, which makes it rust-resistant and perfect for outdoor use. The chairs can be linked together in rows for conference use, and the new colour scheme keeps the Hee chairs updated.’
