Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Chair and Stool (1929), originally created to furnish his German Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Barcelona, have come to epitomize modern design. Mies van der Rohe designed the chair to serve as seating for the king and queen of Spain, while the stool was intended to accommodate their attendants.

Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, as well as many of the furnishings. For its busy lobby, he created the biomorphic Egg (1958) and Swan, which are believed to be the first swiveling upholstered chairs. More than 50 years after its design, the Egg Chair is still used in advertising, film and television as a symbol of sophisticated urbanism. Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen.

From one of Denmark's most influential modern designers comes this set of sled-leg dining chairs. Arne Vodder was trained by cabinetmaker Niels Vodder in the 1940's and created, to my mind at least, some of the beautiful case pieces of the era. These chairs, with rosewood 'sled' legs and shown in the original upholstery, were made by Sibast Furniture in the 1960's.
