Arkade Chair
The Arkade Chair is a previously unreleased chair by Danish architect Nanna Ditzel, designed in 1983. The design exemplifies Ditzel’s hallmark of elegant geometries and fondness for soft circular shapes, expressed with recurring arches, hence the name Arkade (the Danish word for Arcade), and a nod to classic architecture.
A Canvas of Possibilities
Honoring Ditzel’s passion for decoration and color, the Arkade Chair is available in a rich palette of materials — from wood veneer seats to full upholstery in a wide range of textiles and leathers. A chair full of personality and presence, it offers designers and architects a versatile canvas for creative expression.
Design Legacy
The chair was initially designed in 1983 during a decadelong collaboration between Ditzel and Brdr. Krüger. The joint effort explored the synergy between Ditzel’s design vision and the Brdr. Krüger expert craftsmanship. Relaunched in 2020, the chair has since become a permanent part of the Brdr. Krüger collection — a timeless piece that continues to inspire with its sculptural form and rich materiality.
Designed by Nanna Ditzel
Nanna Ditzel (1923–2005) was a pioneering force in Danish design, known for her experimental approach and strong sense of form and function. Her work spanned furniture, textiles, and jewelry, and was celebrated for its originality, elegance, and playfulness.

Handcrafted in Denmark
The Arkade Chair merges traditional fine woodworking with modern manufacturing, reflecting Brdr. Krüger’s commitment to creating innovative designs built to last. The chair is composed of three defining elements: turned and steambent wooden arches that form the legs, curved circles shaping the upholstered seat and backrest, and slender metal supports that complete its distinctive silhouette. The result is a piece with timeless appeal and enduring quality. Discover the family legacy here.
