Can you tell what era this Danish Modern Selig Jensen “Z” chair is from? Go ahead, take a wild guess.
That’s right…circa 1950s. The lines on this chair are so crisp and beautiful; the subtle curve of the armrest tops, the fluid rounded forms of the wood legs. There’s really no way you can’t love it.
Strangely, though, the designer commonly attributed to this chair, Poul (or Paul) Jensen, doesn’t seem to exist. No mention of him online (outside of this chair design), nor in Google Books, nor in any (US) patents. Could his existence be a complete fabrication? Perhaps.
