A rare Model 114 desk chair, designed in the early 1960s by Sigvard Bernadotte for France & Søn. The chair features a solid teak frame with its original synthetic leather upholstery, combining functionality with refined Danish modern aesthetics.

Sigvard Bernadotte (1907–2002) was born a Prince of Sweden but lost his royal title after marrying a non-royal. Thereafter, he asked to be known simply as Mr Sigvard Bernadotte. Beyond his royal origins, Bernadotte was an influential designer. He served as creative director at Georg Jensen, where his enduring Bernadotte range is still produced today, and later established a design studio in Copenhagen.
His work for France & Søn, including the Model 114, reflects the elegance and practicality of Scandinavian design at its peak.
France & Søn was a leading Danish furniture maker from the 1950s–60s, working with designers such as Sigvard Bernadotte, Arne Vodder, and Finn Juhl. Known for solid teak frames and modular construction, their pieces helped define the international reputation of Danish modern design. Today, their work remains highly regarded by collectors and design enthusiasts.
