The Canvas 21 Chair was designed in 1968 by Børge Mogensen, and remains as stylish today as it did then. The frame is built in FSC‑certified solid oak, sanded to a soft, natural matte that will stay strong and supportive for years to come.

The seat and backrest use a taut canvas sling, naturally breathable, with a gentle spring when you lean in. Choose between natural canvas for an understated look, or black canvas for a more striking piece. Brass details add a refined glimmer, designed to age into an elegant patina that tells time beautifully.

A calm, versatile chair built to be loved, used, and passed on.
