Carl Hansen KK47000 Safari Chair

The chair is designed with a clever, glueless joinery system that allows the frame to be slotted together by hand. Because it requires no screws or glue, you can easily disassemble it for storage or moving.

The Safari Chair features a flexible frame that adjusts to your weight, with joints that tighten as you sit to provide stability. While it is a lounge chair with a lower seat height of 13.4 inches, the canvas or leather sling provides a supportive, ergonomic fit.

The canvas option offers a more casual, authentic safari aesthetic, while the leather upholstery provides a more formal, luxurious feel that will develop a unique patina over time. Both options are paired with a natural saddle leather armrest for consistent comfort and style.

The solid wood frame should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth. For the leather components, we recommend using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.

Despite its lightweight construction, the chair is exceptionally stable due to Kaare Klint’s precise engineering. The tension-based design ensures that the frame remains rigid and secure whenever someone is seated.
