Teak GM11 Armchair by Svend Aage Eriksen of Glostrup

This GM11 Armchair, designed by Svend Aage Eriksen for Glostrup Møbelfabrik, is a quintessential masterclass in Danish Modern teak furniture. The design is defined by its exceptional joinery and sculptural fluidity, most notably in the expansive, blade-like armrests that taper beautifully toward the backrest, offering a tactile and ergonomic surface.

The frame is crafted from solid teak, showcasing the warm grain that made 1960s Scandinavian design iconic. Its low-profile backrest and floating seat are upholstered in sleek black leather, creating a bold contrast against the organic wood tones. Supported by delicate yet sturdy tapered spindle legs, the chair maintains a light, sophisticated footprint that emphasises transparency and form. It is a piece that perfectly balances the rigid requirements of a desk or dining chair with the relaxed, sculptural grace of a mid-century lounge piece. Celebrating beautiful materials and expert craftsmanship.
