Product Information

Description.

The Kaare Klint Safari Chair is one of the first do-it-yourself high design pieces: it can easily be assembled and disassembled without tools, making it ideal for being on the move. Klint designed his Safari Chair in 1933 and was inspired by the English officers chair he had seen in a travel guide from Africa to create a lightweight, portable armchair.

The Safari chair is available in oil-treated light ash or smoked ash. The seat and backrest are available in four colors of canvas or Thor ox hide leather.

Canvas comes with natural leather arm straps; leather cushions feature matching leather arm straps. Matching Safari Footstool also available.

**The chair always includes a cushion. The cushion is only available with buttons.

Dimensions:

22.4" W x 22.4" D x 31.5" H Seat: 13.4" H

Assembly: Assembly required.

23 Best Safari Chair Picks for Your Inner Adventurer

Born from both adventure and practicality, the safari chair has transcended its 18th-century origins being lugged around the great outdoors to become a beloved icon of design. From luxurious leather to sleek modern lines, we’ve curated a collection of the best safari chairs and hunting-inspired chairs available today. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a comfortable spot to unwind, high-quality leather or canvas options, these chairs will bring a dash of exotic allure to any space.

Historically safari chairs were thought of as portable, collapsible chairs designed for the outdoors . They were meant to provide comfortable seating in rugged environments while being easy to tote around, with lightweight frames you could take apart. Kaare Klint is usually cited as the creator of the modern safari chair, based off British military designs (like the  Roorkee chair), and played an instrumental role in refining and popularizing its design. Eventually the look of the safari chair—along with its brethren, the hunting chair—evolved over time with various designers adding their own creative twists to the original.

Classic safari and hunting chairs

Modern safari and hunting-influenced chairs, vegan safari chairs, safari-inspired sling chairs.

BM 1106 Huntsman Chair for Carl Hansen & Son

Design Within Reach

Børge Mogensen was mentored by Kaare Klint, and his influence can be seen here in another version of a safari chair with a solid frame, made nearly two decades after the initial design. This chair has a slightly higher seat height so it would also make a compelling dining chair.

Arne Norell Sirocco Safari Chair

Sun at Six Plume Chair

This minimalist chair comes in two different seat heights (12 and 16 inches) so you can choose between lounge-y and extra lounge-y. The vegetable-tanned leather comes from Italy, and the oil-finished wood resists stains and spills, so this chair remains neat and clean even when you’re at your clumsiest.

Parachute Leather Sling Chair

This low-to-the-ground chair takes cues from Mogensen’s Spanish chair, but adds a modern twist with a robust wooden side frame connecting the legs. The cognac leather back is seamlessly integrated with dowels and will stretch and mold to your body overtime.

The generations of the Safari Chair

‍ the safari chair's journey, from kaare klint's classic to modern interpretations by elias svedberg, arne norell, and bror boije, has left an indelible mark on design history. this iconic furniture piece continues to inspire design enthusiasts worldwide..

The so-called safari chair has for a long time been an object of interest for architects and furniture designers. The lightness, the simplicity, and the clear division between the carrying and the carried have inspired different generations to their interpretations and reinterpretations.

The first modern version, the KK 47000 chair was designed back in 1933 by “the father of Danish furniture design” Kaare Klint (1888–1954). Klint transformed the historical archetype into a modern Safari chair classic that became a recurring type of furniture for decades to come. Several prominent furniture designers have since taken on the task of designing their own version of Klint´s.

Elias Svedberg (1913-1987) designed his version of the safari chair called the Triva Chair in 1944. It was launched in the range of the NK Triva Series and produced by NK Verkstäder (eng. NK´s Workshop) in Nyköping, near Stockholm.

Twenty years later upholsterer and designer Arne Norell (1917-1971) designed the Sirocco chair for his own company Norell Möbel. Sirocco proved to be a great sales success and led to the Norell brand being known even outside Europe. After 60 years the chair is still manufactured by the Norell company, today run by Arne´s daughter Marie Norell Möller. 

‍ The interior architect Bror Boije   (b.1942) is one of the foremost Swedish furniture designers of the 1970s. In 1968 he made his debut with the armchair series Junker for DUX - Bra Bohag, only 26 years old. Junker was a modernization of the classic safari chair and received a very positive reception. This was followed by a long series of successful collaborations with Swedish furniture manufacturers. As a freelance designer, Boije built his brand alongside the clients', in a way that was typical of the 1970s design generation.

About the Creator

Kaare Klint

Born in Frederiksberg, Denmark in 1888, architect, designer, and educator Kaare Klint formally trained as a painter at private art schools before going on to study architecture under his father, architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint, and Carl Petersen. In 1914, Petersen invited the younger Klint to assist in the design of furniture and fixtures for the Faaborg Museum. Klint opened his own office in 1920, and continued to work for museums for the next two decades, designing furniture for both the Danish Museum of Decorative Art and the Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen.

Klint helped found the Furniture School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1923, where he was appointed the first associate professor in furniture design in 1924. Through this position, he inspired several prominent Danish furniture designers, including Poul Kjærholm  and Børge Mogensen , who went on to facilitate the international progression of Danish midcentury modernism.

Klint’s work was characterized by high craftsmanship, functionalism, and a love of fine wood. His work was research-driven and placed strong emphasis on a thorough understanding of classical furniture—as well as the evolution of furniture forms—as the basis for new designs, and he endeavored to pass this approach on to his students. Notable projects include the Faaburg Chair (1914), the  Propeller Stool and Red Chair (both 1927), the Safari Chair and Deck Chair (both 1933), and Grundtvig’s Church in Copenhagen. The church was originally Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint’s commission, and its construction had begun in 1921; after his father’s death in 1930, Kaare Klint took over, ultimately completing the project in 1940.

Klint was awarded the title of Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in London in 1949 and the C.F. Hansen Medal from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1954. His work is included in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum  in London; Designmuseum Danmark  and the Faaborg Museum in Copenhagen; the Israel Museum in Jerusalem; and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, among others.

Klint died in Copenhagen in 1954.

About the Maker

Rud. rasmussen.

Rud. Rasmussen—one of Denmark’s oldest cabinetmaking workshops—was established in 1869 by Rudolph Rasmussen in Copenhagen. The firm combined centuries-old traditions with new techniques to create modern Danish furniture  of the highest quality. In the 20th century, they collaborated with some of Denmark’s most renowned designers, including Kaare Klint , Mogens Koch, Mogens Lassen, and Poul Kjaerholm .

Rasmussen apprenticed as a cabinetmaker in Aarhus in 1857. Four years later, he moved to Copenhagen, where he began to work for the royal cabinetmaker L. G. Lund. There, he spent time honing his craft and became skilled at using cabinetry machinery. He soon received several important commissions, including the design of Lund’s stand for the 1866 Stockholm industrial exhibition. Rasmussen saved the money he earned from his contract work and by 1874, he had enough capital to open his own workshop. Unfortunately, the workshop burned down in a fire not long after its establishment, but fortunately, Rasmussen was able to use the insurance money to set up shop once more, in the even trendier neighborhood of Nørrebrogad in Copenhagen, where it continues to operate today.

Together with his brother-in-law, J.C. Groule, they named the company Rud. Rasmussen's Factory for Oak Furniture. In the late 19 th century, furniture making was being industrialized at a rapid pace, with new machinery rendering the process of wood cutting quicker and more accurate than ever before. Rasmussen hoped the use of the word “factory” rather than “workshop” in their company name would help create the image of a modern Danish manufacturer, with large-scale operations and the latest machinery. This was a successful ploy, and the happy marriage of skilled cabinetmaking and modern techniques meant that in a short time, the company’s reputation for oak furniture grew.

Rud. Rasmussen’s first big account was with the local authority, for whom they were charged with furnishing the interior of the newly built City Hall in Copenhagen. They also kitted out police stations, post offices, various ministries, hospitals, and the Technical University. Rasmussen himself designed most of the furniture, occasionally working with other well known Danish designers such as Vilhelm Dahlerup (1836-1907) and Thorvald Bindesbøll (1846-1908). Rasmussen passed away in 1904, bequeathing the business to his two sons, Rudolf and Victor Rasmussen.

In the 1920s, the firm began collaborating with one of the most famous proponents of functionalism and the father of Danish modernism , the architect-designer Kaare Klint . Rud. Rasmussen produced some of Klint’s most iconic designs, including the Faaborg Chair (1914); Red Chairs (designed between 1927 and 1932); his French Rococo inspired Addition Sofa (1933); the collapsible Safari Chair (1933); Greek Sofa (1940) and various desks and coffee tables. Designs by Mogens Koch also played an integral part of the Rud. Rasmussen collection, including the production of the modular MK 40880 Bookcase (1932); and the game-changing series of folding furniture, including the MK9920 Folding Chair (1932), which was deemed to avant-garde at the time and was not brought into production until 1960.

In 1930, the company changed their name to Rud. Rasmussens Snedkerier—Rud. Rasmussen's Cabinetmakers. In 1979, the company was passed on to the fourth generation of Rasmussens, managed by Jørgen Rasmussen. In 2007, the company was made a “National Industrial Monument,” and a year later the premises was listed by the Danish Agency for Culture. Shortly after, in 2011,  Carl Hansen & Søn  acquired the company. The two Danish furniture makers maintain independent brands, but are both dedicated to producing high quality craftsmanship and timeless Danish design.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018

• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
