Between 1927 and 1932, Kaare Klint designed a series of chairs named "The Red Chairs." The name stemmed from Kaare Klint's favorite material, the red Niger goat hide, which was originally used to upholster the chair´s seat and back. Klint designed the first chairs (model 3758) especially for the Danish Museum of Art and Design's lecture hall and placed them in the central pavilion facing Bredgade in central Copenhagen, positioning the chairs side by side in many rows. The seats' width ensured that people had a comfortable amount of space between them as they sat, but when Klint wished to use the chairs for his Addition Tables, a narrower version was required.

The Red Chair is available in mahogany, oak and can be upholstered in goat hide, oxhide, or fabric. The chair is finished with piping or brass nails.

The chair comes in three sizes; the largest (model 3758) is also available with armrests (model 3758A).
