Kristiansen 1957

Designed in 1957 by Kai Kristiansen, this dining or desk chair is truly a clever creation with one eye on design and the other on usability. The sharp lines and unconventional angles are balanced by the oval-shapes of the legs, armrest and backrest. The frame's structure cleverly creates half-length elbow-rests, which means the chair doesn't fill a room and allows sitting as close to the table as desired. The backrest pivots a couple of centimetres to support your lower back when sitting upright or to support your middle back when reclining with elbows on the half-arms, allowing you to stretch

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as PAERE DANSK LIMITED, number 05325471. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
