What customers say
The KK47000 Safari Chair is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and enduring design. Reviewers consistently praise the superior quality of the solid wood frame and the precise leather straps. While assembly demands patience, the outcome is a remarkably stable and comfortable seat that molds to the user over time. Its aesthetic appeal makes it a standout piece in contemporary spaces. This chair represents a significant investment, but its lasting durability and iconic status offer excellent value for those who appreciate heritage and meticulous construction in their furniture.
Know before you buy
The chair is designed with a clever, glueless joinery system that allows the frame to be slotted together by hand. Because it requires no screws or glue, you can easily disassemble it for storage or moving.
The Safari Chair features a flexible frame that adjusts to your weight, with joints that tighten as you sit to provide stability. While it is a lounge chair with a lower seat height of 13.4 inches, the canvas or leather sling provides a supportive, ergonomic fit.
The canvas option offers a more casual, authentic safari aesthetic, while the leather upholstery provides a more formal, luxurious feel that will develop a unique patina over time. Both options are paired with a natural saddle leather armrest for consistent comfort and style.
The solid wood frame should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth. For the leather components, we recommend using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
Despite its lightweight construction, the chair is exceptionally stable due to Kaare Klint’s precise engineering. The tension-based design ensures that the frame remains rigid and secure whenever someone is seated.
