Kaare Klint Safari Chairs – Set of 2 with Footstool
Denmark | Circa 1930s

The Safari Chair by Kaare Klint is a masterclass in simplicity and ingenuity, inspired by the utilitarian campaign furniture of colonial explorers. This set of two chairs, paired with the matching footstool, reflects Klint’s commitment to functional design—crafted to be lightweight, portable, and supremely comfortable.

Built with solid wood frames and natural leather upholstery, each chair embraces its materials’ raw beauty. Over time, the leather develops a rich patina, telling the story of years well spent, while the chair’s carefully considered structure relies on tension and balance rather than heavy joinery. The result is a piece that feels both relaxed and enduring—easy to transport yet substantial in presence.

Kaare Klint, often regarded as the father of Danish modernism, approached design with an architect’s eye and a craftsman’s hand. His Safari Chairs strip away excess, leaving a form that is as adaptable as it is iconic—a seamless fit in spaces that appreciate clarity and purpose.

This set, complete with its original footstool, offers not just seating but a window into the evolution of modern design—where practical needs inspired timeless solutions.
