An embracing and comfortable armchair designed to support happy moments around the dining table.

Hven Armchair carries a light expression highlighted by few subtle details such as the overlapping poles, round corners and curved shape.

Oak is a sturdy and hard-wearing type of wood containing natural tannings that will protect against bacterial growth.

As an open grain wood, Oak absorbs color really well and leaves graphic traces of the natural texture visible on the surface.

Combined with its light, elegant color and well-defined grains, this makes oak wood safe choice for high-quality interior. 

Add a light touch of comfort to your Hven chair with this cushion made from aniline Dunes leather.

Characterized by its natural look and velvety feel.

The aniline Dunes leather has received the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

Dunes leather is a strong and chrome-free material processed by a water-based aniline dye.

Hven Armchair

An embracing and comfortable armchair designed to generate happy moments around the dining table. It carries a light expression; cut to the bone and highlighted by few subtle details such as the overlapping poles and the curved forms that open up the space of the chair. The Hven series is named after the little, historical island located between Sweden and Denmark in the Oresund Strait.

Skagerak by Fritz Hansen

Skagerak was founded in Denmark in 1976 and is now part of Fritz Hansen, which tells you most of what you need to know about the company it keeps. The work has always been quiet rather than loud: FSC-certified teak, simple joinery, pieces drawn to be used for decades instead of noticed for a season.

Teak is the material the brand is built on, and it was used for ship decks for the same reason it works here. The oils are inside the timber, so it protects itself. Left outside it silvers to a soft even grey within a season with no loss of strength at all. Oiled each spring it stays honey and golden. Both are correct; only the look changes.

The unusual thing about Skagerak is how much of it works indoors. The planters, benches, side tables and smaller accessories read as interior furniture, and plenty of them end up in hallways and living rooms rather than on terraces. Teak indoors darkens rather than greys, so a piece that moves inside will keep changing colour for a year or two before settling.

Care is a soft brush, mild soap and water along the grain, twice a year. Keep pressure washers away, since they raise the grain and leave a surface that holds dirt. The questions below cover weathering, indoor use and cleaning.
