&Tradition Wulff Chair

There’s a prescience to Danish design that makes furniture the country’s artisans created in the early 20th century feel fresh and modern today. Wulff (from US$4,725), by &Tradition, is based on an uncredited armchair dreamt up sometime in the 1930s; after a years-long search, the company purchased an original at auction in 2019. Then, craftsmen brought it up to presentday standards before it was reintroduced in 2021. It combines a comfortable upholstered back and seat with swooping supports made from Forest Stewardship Council– certified beech, walnut or oak. In a blend of handcraftsmanship and contemporary technology, the legs are produced on a computer-controlled lathe, then sanded by hand to get the shape just right when they’re connected to the armrest.
