Arne Wahl Iversen Teak Lounge Chair for Komfort, 1960

An expressive 1960s Danish lounge chair where warm teak and an exceptional, original wool fabric come together to create a particularly harmonious overall aesthetic. The high back, generous upholstery, and separate headrest give the chair a comfortable, almost architectural presence.

The solid teak frame impresses with its finely crafted proportions. Particularly beautiful are the wide, slightly curved armrests that flow seamlessly into the front legs. The open design of the backrest makes the chair look light and elegant, despite its impressive height. Two leather straps secure the padded headrest while adding a high-quality artisanal touch.

A special feature is the firm wool fabric in warm shades of brown, cognac, and beige. The striking striped pattern underscores the chair's authentic character and harmonizes perfectly with the warm tone of the teak. The fabric is in flawless condition, with the colors remaining vibrant and clear. The solid teak frame is also in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of wear consistent with age.

The generously dimensioned seat and back cushions, along with the additional headrest, ensure excellent seating comfort. At the same time, thanks to its clear lines, the chair possesses that understated elegance that characterizes high-quality Danish furniture from the mid-century era.

The design is attributed to the Danish designer Arne Wahl Iversen and is dated to the 1960s by Komfort, Denmark. During this period, Komfort collaborated with several prominent Danish designers and produced high-quality seating furniture, particularly in teak and rosewood. Arne Wahl Iversen’s designs for Komfort are often characterized by sculpturally crafted solid wood frames, generous upholstery, and a careful combination of comfort and a clear design language. Comparable high-back chairs of this design are documented as works by Wahl Iversen for Komfort.
