This set of eight 1970s Skovby dining chairs embodies the refined craftsmanship and sculptural presence of Danish Modern design. Each chair features a tall, gently arched back with three elongated vertical slats that create a striking silhouette while offering natural support. The warm teak frames showcase Skovby’s hallmark curvature and attention to proportion, with softly rounded edges and tapered lines that balance elegance and strength.

Functional as well as beautiful, these chairs are designed for comfort and durability, perfect for everyday dining or entertaining. Their clean forms and timeless materials highlight the enduring appeal of Scandinavian modernism, while the cohesive set of eight ensures a commanding presence around a large table. Whether used in a formal dining room or as stylish seating in an open living space, this Skovby collection reflects the enduring quality and understated sophistication of vintage Danish furniture.

These chairs can be purchased in their current vintage condition (Vintage As-Pictures) or restored and reupholstered (Vintage Restored). For reupholstery, the client is responsible for purchasing and providing the fabric of their choice. Once the fabric is supplied, our team will handle the refinishing and professional reupholstery process, ensuring the set is customized to your vision while honoring the integrity of these iconic Danish designs.

Skovby Dining Table is also for sale.

Condition & Restoration

We photograph each piece in its current condition and offer two ways to purchase: as-pictured or restored. This approach gives you a clear and honest view of the item and allows you to choose the level of finish that best suits your needs.

As-Pictured:
Choosing the as-pictured option means you’ll receive the item in its current state with light cleaning and basic touch-ups completed in our warehouse. We ensure that drawers, doors, and structural elements are functional, but no deep refinishing work is performed. This option is ideal for those who appreciate the charm and patina of original vintage finishes, want to avoid additional restoration costs, or prefer a quicker turnaround without the lead time required for refinishing. It's also a great choice if you’re a collector or designer looking to integrate the piece into a space with a lived-in aesthetic.

Restored:
Selecting the restored option includes our full professional refinishing process. Once selected, the piece is transported to our workshop, where we address surface damage like lacquer failure, chips, water marks, and deep scratches. Our team sands, stains, and seals each surface where appropriate, restoring the finish while preserving the character of the original design. We also carefully adjust doors, drawers, and hardware to ensure smooth operation and reliable function. The result is a fully restored vintage furniture piece, ready for daily use and built to last for decades to come.

This dual-option model gives you the flexibility to choose what’s right for your space, style, and timeline—without compromising on quality or transparency.

Note:
Some items may only be available for purchase with restoration included. In these cases, the original condition does not meet our standards for resale without a full professional refinish.
This ensures that every piece we ship—restored or otherwise—meets the level of quality and functionality we stand behind.

Conversely, certain items—such as lighting, upholstered pieces, or otherwise—are only offered as-pictured, as we typically don’t refinish these types of items.
