Leather and Rosewood Model 31 Chair by Kai Kristiansen

This individual Model 31 dining chair by Kai Kristiansen showcases a refined mid-century Danish design built around sculpted lines and precise joinery. Each chair is defined by its distinctive curved backrest rail, which forms a smooth horizontal arc and flows directly into the rear supports, creating a continuous, wraparound gesture.

The frames feature slender, tapering legs and crisp rectangular seat rails that give the chairs a sharp, architectural outline. Gently angled back supports add a sense of forward movement while reinforcing the ergonomic shaping. The upholstered seat and back is softly rounded and neatly fits within the wooden structure, emphasising the contrast between the firm geometry of the frame and the cushioned surfaces. The overall design balances lightness, curvature, and structure, making Model 31 a classic example of Kristiansen’s sculptural yet disciplined approach to dining chair design.

This set features a luxurious rosewood frame contrasted by a bold black faux leather.
