Introducing the timeless elegance of the Sibast No 59 chair, originally designed in 1959 by the renowned Danish craftsman, Helge Sibast. Helge Sibast was celebrated for his impeccable craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to Danish design principles.

A Masterpiece of Danish Design Reimagined
The Sibast No 59 chair is celebrated for its light and sophisticated design, drawing on and inspired by the simplicity and functional beauty of the Shaker style. This style, originating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in the U.S., is characterized by simplicity and purity of design, sound construction, and complete practicality.

Key features of the chair include a beautifully woven papercord seat available in nature or black, a slightly curved backrest for exceptional comfort, and two horizontal wooden pieces that elegantly support the back. The chair’s lightweight construction and sublime design make it visually appealing and highly comfortable.

Not only is the Sibast No 59 chair a symbol of the Sibast family’s Danish design heritage, but it also epitomizes comfort and quality. Its lightweight construction makes it versatile for any space, while its high-quality materials ensure longevity and durability.

Craftsmanship and Quality with Modern Elegance
True to Helge Sibast’s vision, each Sibast No 59 chair is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans. The reissue, driven by the creative vision of Helge Sibast’s grandson and his wife, the new founders of Sibast Furniture, introduces the chair to 2024 with refined details and enhanced construction. This re-imagination maintains the highest standards of quality while adding a contemporary touch to the classic design, supporting the Shaker style’s legacy and incorporating new design perspectives that bring the design heritage into the 21st century.

Crafted from the finest materials; beech, oak, or walnut, the Sibast No 59 chair exudes sophistication and durability. Its classic design is complemented by a seat woven from papercord, available in natural or black, adding a touch of modernity to its timeless silhouette.
