Nanna Ditzel Model 113 armchair for Poul Kolds Savværk, Denmark 1955. Solid oak frame, original handwoven cane seat. One of the rarest mid-century Danish chairs on the market. Nanna Ditzel was the best designer Denmark produced in the 20th century and somehow still doesn't get enough credit for it. The Model 113 is a perfect example of why, a solid oak frame with a sweeping circular backrest that flows directly into the armrests like it was bent rather than built, sitting on four slender tapered legs that have absolutely no business being that elegant. Original handwoven cane seat, intact and in excellent shape, which at 70 years old is either very good luck or very good care. Probably both. Minor marks consistent with age and a life well-lived, but nothing that takes anything away from one of the rarest chairs to come out of mid-century Scandinavia. The kind of piece serious collectors spend years looking for. No manufacturing mark present as very commonly missing but the quality and feature of this chair make it unmistakably the original Model 113.
