Set of 4 Erik Buch "Floating Seat" Dining Chairs for O.D. Møbler, Denmark, 1960s

$2,298.00

These are the chairs Erik Buch is best known for, the ones where the seat and backrest appear to float free of the frame, held by slim brass fittings that let them flex slightly with your weight. It's a small mechanical trick that makes the whole chair feel lighter than it looks, and it's part of why the design has become so collectible. This set was made by O.D. Møbler, one of the primary manufacturers of Buch's model 4, the maker most associated with the design, alongside Ørum Møbler. The set includes two armchairs and two side chairs, so you get a natural head-of-table pair built right in, rather than having to hunt one down later. The teak frames have been fully restored, joints checked and reglued where needed, all repairs made, but we deliberately left the original patina intact rather than sanding it down to bare wood. That warm, honey-toned color is part of what makes vintage teak vintage teak, and it would be a shame to sand it away just to start over. The seats and backs have been reupholstered in black vinyl: durable, easy to live with, and a clean modern contrast against the warm wood tone.

Sold as a set of 4 (2 armchairs, 2 side chairs).
