Architect Kaare Klint (1888–1954) was a beacon of Danish design and, with his unique understanding of proportions, he laid the groundwork for the Danish Modern concept. Throughout his working life, in which he created a series of iconic design-led products, he insisted on clear, logical design and a distinctive style. he Easy Chair was universally recognized as having perfect construction and very balanced proportions: deliberate features of Klint’s overall design philosophy. Praised as a very modern contribution due to its precise, tight lines and composition, the Easy Chair was then produced for the Guild’s 1937 Exhibition.

Klint submitted a variety of distinct designs to the Guild’s celebratory competition under the title “Christmas 1934” – the elegant Easy Chair was amongst them featuring a loose, down-filled seat cushion.
