Miyazaki Chair Factory
The Uni Rest is an improved version of the 4300 model produced in Denmark in the 1960s by the designer Kai Kristiansen. Kai Christiansen, still working as a designer in his mid-90s, redesigned the chair in cooperation with the Miyazaki chair factory as part of the UNI series. The decisive difference from the original is the machining process used at MCF, which makes it possible to give the elbows a twisted look. The new prototypes of the armrests, cut by Kai Christiansen himself, have been faithfully reproduced. They feel comfortable in the hand, pleasant to the touch and reveal a richly expressive grain.
The beautiful sculptured armrests characterize this special piece. The back and seat cushions have also been carefully reconsidered to ensure they are light and comfortable. The curve in the seat cushion offers relaxing seating comfort and facilitates the ease of use of this one-seater. Uni Rest pairs beautifully with all other members of the UNI family, particularly the uni rest side table and the uni rest ottoman. A simple and compact form with gentle curves that blends easily with a variety of interior designs.

About Kai Kristiansen
Kai Kristiansen is among the most innovative and talented Danish designers of the mid-20th century. He was born in 1929 and trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His mentor was the famed father of modern Danish furniture design, Kaare Klint. Kristiansen excelled as a cabinetmaker and, in 1955, set up his design workshop. His talent was quickly recognised by some of Denmark's finest cabinet makers, and the result is some of the most stunning furniture produced during the mid-century era. Kristiansen was a multifaceted designer who was comfortable designing a range of furniture. His work is defined by clean lines and a perfect balance of form and function. He created some of the most desirable lounge, dining, and office furniture of the day in luxurious teak and rosewood. As an avid supporter of furniture design, Kristiansen also organised many of the large furniture fairs in Denmark during the 1960s. Today, his designs are some of the most highly coveted examples of mid-century furniture to emerge from Denmark.
