Carl Hansen & Son KK47000 Safari Chair

Yes, the chair is designed to be assembled and disassembled entirely by hand. Its clever construction relies on a system of joints and tension, staying true to Kaare Klint’s original 1933 vision for portable, functional furniture.

The chair is designed to move with you. Because the frame and fabric are not rigidly fixed, the chair subtly adjusts to your posture and the unevenness of the floor, providing a dynamic, comfortable sit that feels more relaxed than a standard armchair.

The canvas option offers a lighter, more casual aesthetic that leans into the chair's historical roots as field furniture. The leather option provides a more structured, refined look that will develop a unique patina over time, offering a more formal feel.

The white oil finish gives the ash a light, matte appearance that is relatively easy to care for. You can maintain the wood by occasionally wiping it with a soft, dry cloth and applying a specialized wood oil if the surface begins to look dry.

While it is exceptionally comfortable, keep in mind that the seat height is 13.4 inches, which is lower than a standard dining or office chair. It is best suited for lounge areas, reading nooks, or as a statement piece in a living room.

No, the natural saddle leather arm straps are functional components of the chair's structure. They help maintain the tension of the frame and are integral to the chair's ability to remain stable while providing a comfortable resting point for your arms.
