6x Model 16 Dining Chairs by Johannes Andersen

DESIGN: Johannes Andersen

This superb set of six fully reconditioned Model 16 dining chairs, designed by celebrated Danish designer Johannes Andersen for Uldum Møbelfabrik, is a striking example of authentic mid-century modern Scandinavian craftsmanship. Known for his organic forms and elegant detailing, Andersen created furniture that balances sculptural beauty with everyday functionality — qualities perfectly expressed in the Model 16.

Each chair is crafted from beautifully grained solid teak, showcasing Andersen’s signature flowing lines and refined joinery. The gently curved backrests are carefully shaped to provide excellent comfort and support, while maintaining a light, elegant silhouette. The subtly tapered legs and softened edges give the chairs a warm, organic presence typical of high-quality Danish design from the period.

The seats are comfortably padded and upholstered in original black vinyl, offering practical everyday usability while preserving the clean, minimalist aesthetic that defines Scandinavian modern furniture. Their versatile design allows them to complement both original mid-century interiors and contemporary dining spaces.

Complete sets of Model 16 chairs are increasingly difficult to source, making this matching set of six particularly desirable for collectors, designers, and anyone seeking authentic Danish vintage furniture of exceptional quality.

Elegant, comfortable, and timeless, these Model 16 dining chairs are ideal for creating a sophisticated dining space while investing in a genuine piece of Danish design history.

We are happy to offer re-upholstery on these chairs. A wide selection of fabrics are available via the Upholstery Selection link, We can also source fabrics not shown on our website upon request. 

Please note that alternative upholstery options may incur an additional charge.

Johannes Andersen

Johannes Andersen (1903–1991) was a highly regarded Danish furniture designer associated with the golden age of mid-century modern Scandinavian design. Trained as a cabinetmaker before establishing his own architectural and furniture practice in the 1930s, Andersen developed a reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern, forward-thinking design.

Unlike some of his more academically influenced contemporaries, Andersen’s work is known for its organic forms, flowing lines, and sculptural elegance. His furniture often features softly curved edges, refined proportions, and subtle detailing, giving his pieces a warm and approachable character while maintaining the clean principles of Danish modernism.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Andersen collaborated with several respected Danish manufacturers, including Uldum Møbelfabrik, CFC Silkeborg, and Trensum (Sweden). His designs ranged from dining chairs and tables to cabinets and lounge furniture, many of which remain highly collectible today.

Among his most recognised works are his elegant teak dining chairs and sculptural coffee tables, which demonstrate his skill in balancing form, comfort, and functionality. Andersen’s designs are particularly admired for their human-centred ergonomics and subtle artistic expression.

Today, Johannes Andersen’s furniture is widely sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide. His work represents the enduring appeal of Danish mid-century craftsmanship — timeless, functional, and beautifully made — securing his place as an important figure in Scandinavian design history.

Please note: we do not currently deliver furniture to Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands. However, if you require delivery to these locations, feel free to contact us for a custom quote.

Do you ship internationally?

Currently, we only deliver within the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) due to our 'White Glove' delivery service policy, and we do not use external couriers for furniture deliveries. However, if you're located overseas and wish to place an order, we can arrange it on an Ex-Works basis. This means the product will be made available for collection at our UK warehouse, and you will be responsible for organising shipping, customs, and delivery to your final destination.

What does 'White Glove' delivery mean?

‘White Glove’ delivery means your order is handled by our professional in-house delivery team, ensuring it arrives with care and attention. As part of this service, we will deliver your item to the room of your choice, unpack it, assemble it (where applicable), and remove all packaging for recycling.

Please note: our team does not carry out installations that involve drilling or fixing items to walls, floors, or ceilings. Additionally, we do not assemble shelving systems.

Why don’t you use mainstream delivery companies or couriers?

Because of the specialist nature and lead times of our products, we use our own in-house delivery team to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition—just as it left the manufacturer or workshop. This approach helps us avoid damage, delays, and impersonal service, ensuring the highest level of care from start to finish.

Can I choose a specific delivery date?

Once your order arrives at our warehouse from the manufacturer, a member of our team will contact you to schedule a delivery at a time that suits you. We deliver Monday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. If you require delivery outside these hours, an additional fee may apply.

We can hold your order in our warehouse for up to 10 days at no cost. If you need us to store it for longer, a storage fee may be required. However, we're flexible and assess this on a case-by-case basis—provided it’s not an extended period, we typically don’t charge.

Do you remove packaging?

Yes, as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service, we unpack your item and remove all packaging for recycling. We know how inconvenient it can be to dispose of bulky protective materials, so we take care of it for you.

Do you assemble my product if it arrives in multiple parts?

Yes, as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service, we’ll assemble your product if it requires basic setup and arrives in multiple parts. However, we do not carry out installations that involve drilling or fixing items to walls, floors, or ceilings.

Please note, we do not assemble shelving systems as standard, but this may be available for an additional fee. If you'd like to request this service, please let us know when scheduling your delivery.

Why do you provide assembly?

Assembly is included as part of our 'White Glove' delivery service to ensure you receive the highest level of care and convenience. We understand how frustrating and time-consuming self-assembly can be—and how easily damage can occur during the process. Our experienced delivery team is familiar with every product we sell and ensures it’s assembled correctly and safely.

Additionally, if any components are missing, our team carries spare parts whenever possible. If a part isn’t available on the day, we’ll promptly request it from the manufacturer and return to complete the assembly. This approach eliminates the risk of customer error and ensures a smooth, stress-free experience.
