拍品專文

This chair was acquired in the mid-1950s by the commercial artist Jens Joergen Thing, who worked for Georg Jensen, SAS and many other Danish companies throughout the second half of the 20th century, and his wife, the noted ceramist Inger Thing.

The current high-back chair, by the master cabinetmaker Frits Henningsen, is today celebrated as one of the most iconic forms of Danish Modern design. Taking inspiration from a classical 18th century high-back armchair, the basic form has been enhanced into a sculptural organic form, ergonomically modelled to maximise comfort.
