The KK47000 Safari Chair is an iconic example of Kaare Klint’s design ideology. Klint effortlessly transformed an historical archetype into a modern, collapsible chair in the 1960's. Kaare Klint’s KK47000 Safari Chair is a refinement of the chairs brought on an African safari by an American cinematographer and his wife. Klint noticed them in the couple’s photos. They were most likely based on Indian Roorkhee Chairs used by the British military – possibly the first examples of self-assembled furniture. The original featured glueless joints, tool-free assembly, and an intelligent construction that caused the joints to tighten when the chair was occupied, enhancing strength and stability. Klint focused on simplifying, clarifying and refining the lounge chair’s composition, exhibiting his final Safari Chair design in 1933 at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition. Made of darkened ash with a natural canvas seat and back rest. A design classic! In very good condition with only some minor wear to the canvas upholstery (see photos). Very solid frame. All straps original. Seat height: 30cm Fauteuil van Rud Rasmussen. Maten: 57 x 81 x 57 cm (bxhxd). Leer/Canvas/Eikenhout - Beige/Bruin - Vintage.
