Take note of the available chairs listed separately
These exquisite modular-style dining chairs, likely crafted in South Africa during the 1960s, embody the refined lines and disciplined elegance of Scandinavian design, reminiscent of Danish master Ole Knudsen. Exceptional craftsmanship, these chairs boast a solid wood frame with clean, architectural lines and beautifully finished joinery.
For a dynamic dining arrangement, consider placing the four Beechwood chairs along the sides of your table, with the two Kiaat chairs as statement pieces at each end. While originally designed as dining chairs, their clean lines and versatile form make them equally striking in a lounge or office setting, placed in line, alongside each other.
The chairs have been newly upholstered in a luxurious textured weave from Hertex, primarily off-white with flecks of taupe, grey, and stone, providing a soft contrast to the warmth of the timber frames. During restoration, it became evident that the set consists of two timber variants.
The seven dining chairs are available to purchase in different sets, separately:
- Set of four in Beechwood
- A pair in Kiaat
- One single in Kiaat
All the chairs are unified through identical upholstery, yet each is subtly unique in tone. Their minimalist form, balanced proportions, and subtle brass detailing added by us make them ideal for a refined dining space with a modern or mid-century aesthetic.

The frames have been fully restored and refurbished, bringing out the rich tones and natural beauty of the wood, and are in excellent vintage condition. Re-upholstered, with new foam and fabric from Hertex Fabrics. A marginal difference in backrest height that remains visually unobtrusive.
