Danish Postmodern Skovby Dining Chairs in Solid Teak With Custom Upholstery - Set of 4 Vintage 1960s

Offered here is a set of 4 vintage 1960s dining chairs by Skovby Møbelfabrik A/S, a Danish maker celebrated for its fine craftsmanship and innovative design. These chairs are a rare blend of postmodern sculptural form and classic Danish modern influence, making them a standout addition to any dining space.
 
The frames are crafted from solid teak, built with the durability and weight that Skovby is known for. Their elongated triangular high backs lend a bold architectural presence, while the woven custom upholstery provides a playful, unexpected contrast with its traditional pattern in modern colors.
 
Beyond their striking look, these chairs are comfortable and supportive, perfectly balancing style and function.
 
⚠️ Condition Transparency:
 
Upholstery shows rips, fraying, and staining throughout; one chair has a larger tear (see photos). Reupholstery is strongly recommended.
 
Each chair has a slight wobble in the backrest, likely due to lower screws that need tightening/resetting. A straightforward repair for a skilled DIYer or professional.
 
Frames are solid, heavy, and in excellent vintage condition with expected age wear such as scratches, dings, and some darkening on the legs.
 
All chairs have a loose bolt under the fabric on the backrest, which should be addressed when reupholstering.
