Expertly Restored - Kurt Østervig Sculpted Lounge Chairs for Jason Møbler
About the Item
This stunning pair of Janus lounge chairs, designed by Kurt Østervig for Jason Møbler in the 1950s, is a masterpiece of Danish modern craftsmanship. Crafted from beechwood with a rich walnut stain, these chairs feature an elegantly sculpted frame with beautifully curved armrests and a striking slatted backrest. Expertly refinished, the wood showcases its original warmth and depth, highlighting the chair’s timeless appeal. The fresh reupholstery in an oatmeal-colored tweed fabric enhances both comfort and sophistication, perfectly complementing the natural wood tones.
A fun historical fact: the "Janus" chair was aptly named after the Roman god Janus, who symbolized duality and transitions—much like these chairs, which seamlessly bridge the gap between function and artistry. With its refined form and enduring appeal, this set is a true collector’s piece, embodying the sleek, organic aesthetic of Mid-Century Danish design and making a refined yet practical statement in any modern interior.

Kurt Østervig
Kurt Ejvind Østervig was born in 1912 in Odense, Denmark. He was originally trained and worked as a shipbuilding engineer. However, by the 1930s Østervig shifted to furniture design because of his passion for woodworking.
Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. In 1947, Østervig opened his first own studio as a freelance furniture designer, with a focus on modern design. In the following decades, he worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture producers of the period.
Østervig was exceptionally versatile, designing furniture for hotels, cinemas, and won numerous design competitions during his career. He won awards at the Milan Triennale in 1953 and 1960. In the 1960s, one of Østervig’s designs was selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Østervig had a flair for the dramatic, infusing his furnishings with unique elements that stood out. From elegant, organic to coarse and purely functional furniture, his versatility earned him recognition.
