String Chairs by Neils Jørgen Haugesen for Tranekaer, 1980s (Set of 8)

A rare and highly collectible set of eight “String” Chairs designed by Neils Jørgen Haugesen for Tranekær Furniture in the 1980s. These iconic chairs are celebrated for their architectural elegance, combining a sculptural solid-mahogany frame with a refined rhythm of stretched back cords a hallmark of Haugesen’s minimalist Danish design approach.

The seats are upholstered in black alcantara, offering a refined matte texture that complements the warm tone of the wood. With their clean lines, lightweight visual expression, and exceptional craftsmanship, these chairs make a striking addition to dining spaces, studios, meeting rooms, or design-oriented interiors.

All eight chairs remain in very good vintage condition, with only minor age-related wear. The construction is stable, the cords are well-preserved, and the upholstery is clean, ensuring they are ready for immediate use.
