Description
An exceptional set of eight Danish Modern teak dining chairs by Frem Røjle, Model 217, crafted in Denmark in the early 1960s. Frem Røjle is celebrated for its precision workmanship and elegant minimalism, best known for its association with the Hans Olsen Roundette. This Model 217 series reflects the same elevated level of design—clean, architectural, impeccably balanced, and unmistakably Danish.
The chairs feature sculpted solid teak frames with beautifully grained surfaces, gentle tapering throughout, and a subtly curved backrest that provides both ergonomic support and a graceful silhouette. The floating seat design enhances the lightness and refinement of the form, exemplifying the functional elegance of Danish Modern craftsmanship.
Seven chairs retain their original black upholstery, while one seat has been professionally reupholstered in black vinyl to match the group, carefully selected to harmonize with the original material. The set presents as a cohesive whole, and the updated seat blends seamlessly when viewed alongside the originals.
The chairs are in very, very good vintage condition, showing only minor scratches, imperfections or small areas of discoloration consistent with careful use. The teak frames remain solid, stable, and richly toned, speaking to the longevity and craftsmanship that define Frem Røjle’s production during this period.
A complete set of eight Model 217 chairs is exceptionally hard to source, making this group particularly desirable for collectors, designers, and anyone looking to anchor a dining space with authentic mid-century Danish design. Their proportions—31 inches tall with an 18-inch seat height—offer both comfort and a timeless profile suitable for contemporary interiors.
