A rare and elegant piece of Danish design history, this Model 4205 armchair was designed by Ejnar Larsen and Aksel Bender Madsen for Fritz Hansen in the 1950s.

Design & Craftsmanship
Crafted from natural beech wood, this version features beautifully aged patina and original craftsmanship details. The seat and backrest are comfortably upholstered in a dark blue textile, offering a refined contrast to the warm wood tone. Also available in oak, for a slightly richer finish and grain.
The sculptural frame, exposed joinery, and angled armrests make this chair ideal as a desk chair, occasional lounge piece, or as part of a collector’s curated space.
