Stained Beech Armchair by Axel O. Larsen, Model 1776 FH, Denmark, 1950s
An armchair designed by Axel O. Larsen in the 1950s, noted online as model 1776 Fritz Hansen, made in stained beech. The design combines a elegant, functional frame with gentle curves in the arms and backrest, giving the piece a measured balance between solidity and comfort.
The stained beech has developed a warm tone over time, highlighting the natural grain of the wood and giving the chair a depth that speaks to its age. Designed in the years when Danish furniture was moving from traditional craftsmanship toward the principles of modernism, the chair captures that transitional moment—simple, practical, and carefully resolved.
