The first thing you see as you enter the hall is a number of single pieces of furniture which reveal the current standard of the guild's cabinetmakers. A desk with a chair upholstered in leather has been placed in the middle of the room. It was designed by Architect Tyge Hvass and made by Jacob Kjaer. It must be expensive, but here is a piece of furniture which will always be considered a treat, no matter which direction our tastes may take. It cannot be done more beautifully…

This desk chair was designed by Tyge Hvass and included in the cabinetmaker Jacob Kjær's booth at Danish Cabinetmaker's Guild exhibition of 1939. According to Aage Schultz for Berlingske Tidende, Hvass, the designer of the exhibition, designed the chair and desk for the "garden parlour" of his own, at the time, incomplete country home.
