The Modupe ('Thank You') Chair

The Modupe ('Thank You') Chair

$475.00

Modupe, the Yoruba term for "thank you," is a graceful nod to gratitude and beauty reflected in these pieces.

These elegant mid-century spindle-back chairs are a beautifully restored example of 1950s–1960s craftsmanship. With their gently curved crest rail and tapered legs, the chairs embody the clean lines and simplicity characteristic of Scandinavian-influenced mid-century design.

The frame is crafted from solid hardwood, likely teak or beech—woods commonly used during the era for their strength and warm, honey-toned grain. The chairs have been fully restored and finished in a way that preserves their original character while refreshing their natural luster.

The seats have been reupholstered in a contemporary African wax print fabric, introducing a bold, modern contrast to the minimalist frame. The monochrome geometric motif complements the chair’s understated form while adding cultural richness and visual interest.

Perfect as accents chair, desk chair, boutique statement pieces, or part of a curated dining set.
