Kai Kristiansen is a plethora of information and
inspiration, and a true artist. With a silhouette recognized the world over The #42 dining chair
is by far Kai’s most celebrated work.
The #42 dining chair cannot be improved. The
details speak not only timeless deign, but harmonious
and understated
engineering, defying tradition, such as the sculpted armrests and angular legs.
A love of line, form, nature and simplicity
runs parallel throughout Japanese and Scandinavian design. It was natural
therefore for Kai to trust wholeheartedly Miyazaki, an iconic and highly
regarded Japanese chair mill, with the #42. At Miyazaki the finest oak and
walnut is monitored until a perfect level of moisture is reached (a precise
12%) and only the smoothest natural beeswax is used ensuring a long life. Here
he is (above) proudly signing the frames of limited #42 chairs at Miyazaki.
Kai Kristiansen is a veteran of
Scandinavian design I am proud to work with. With a career spanning more than
60 years and counting, his attitude, dedication and understated style continues
to inspire us and is truly at the heart of Scandinavian Luxury.
