Kai Kristiansen : Model 42
The Z chair, also referred to as chair #42, by design of Kai Kristiansen and produced by Slagelse Møbelvaerk. This chair got it’s Z shape from the suspending back rest. It's a classic. This dining or desk chair is made of solid teak with minimal signs of age and use after 60 years!
At first sight the chair might look slightly uncomfortable, however sits as a winner. Actually the short armrests are much better sized than typical ones you’ll find on a chair. Kristiansen clearly put some thought into this. This chair is made of teak and the seat and back have been reupholstered in a high quality (Retro) leatherette. The subtile glow makes it look like the original upholstery. We always choose this Retro leatherette because of its high quality and subtle shine, which makes it very similar to the original upholstery. This is confirmed by our customers.
For ‘good sitting’ Furnip awards the Z-chair with a 8.5!
