A rare, museum-grade 1950s Danish modern AX 6060 lounge chair designed by the pioneering design duo Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and produced by the legendary Fritz Hansen. A landmark piece of mid-century Scandinavian furniture history, this design features a groundbreaking steam-bent laminated beech frame with inlaid mahogany accents, beautifully cradling its original, distinctively square-quilted cognac leather sling seating.

A Note on Rarity & Pricing

Let's be direct: although $1,395 isn't exactly cheap, it is an absolute bargain for a piece of this caliber.On international design venues like Chairish and Pamono, original leather AX chairs consistently command anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500+ CAD before taxes, heavy international crate shipping, and import duties are factored in.

Finding an authentic, premium-tier Danish artifact like this locally in Calgary is an extreme rarity. Most mid-century enthusiasts in Alberta are forced to look across international borders and pay exorbitant freight costs just to see an AX chair in person. Keeping it local saves thousands in logistics and lets you own an undeniable museum piece at wholesale collector pricing. It stands ready to be the crown jewel of your living room, study, or high-end design collection.
