Alfred Christensen for Slagelse Møbelværk 'Boomerang' Dining Chair in Teak

Alfred Christensen for Slagelse Møbelværk, 'Boomerang' chair, model '370', teak, fabric, Denmark, 1960s.

The Boomerang chair, model ‘370’, by Alfred Christensen, crafted in the 1960s, reflects a sculptural approach to modern Danish design. Its defining feature is the sharply angled back legs that sweep forward into the seat frame, evoking the shape of a boomerang. The rear view reveals an elegant tension between solidity and lightness – the broad, gently curved backrest contrasts with the narrow tapering legs. The chair’s negative space is just as considered as its mass; the open lower back lightens the silhouette. Made from warm teak, the wood grain adds a subtle organic texture that softens the geometric rigor. The upholstered seat floats slightly above the frame, adding comfort without compromising the visual clarity.
