I came across a chair that I like very much and discovered that it is a “Danish Chair”.
I have a craftsman home and wonder if plans for something like such a chair are available and that are consistent with the architecture of my home.
I want a more “relaxed version” of a Morris chair and believe a Danish-style chair would fit the bill just perfect.
Any leads?

TT,
Cheesy remarks like that will win you no friends in Denmark. Better prepare yourself for a blintzkrieg. A Bavarian would cream ya. I've Cinn a man roll over someone for less. You take the cake!

I´ll bet it does wonders for your waist line eh?
Tom Bruhn:
To be honest it would be difficult to describe w/ words but at least let me give it a try:1. The angle of the back rest is similar to the angle of a Morris chair, perhaps a little lower.2. The back-rest stiles curve in towards the seat and actually become the sides of the seat platform.3. It is a relaxed look. A very comfortable chair that is lower to the ground than even a Morris chair.4. The seat is upholstered in leather and the leather is actually tacked to the wood.I hope this gives some idea.Thanks!
Nice!
What I'm looking for is less rectilinear.
A more relaxed design.
I know it's not in keeping w/ the architecture altogether. Still, I'm looking to come home and sleep on my chair.
Thanks!
I don't know, maybe Ray Pine has some insights into the matter that you might find useful. As far as reproductions go his beat mine by a mile:

I'm sure you can have a more fruitful debate with somebody doing reproductions at a very high level of expertise and who has established bona fides including several articles in FW, many significant commissions for private collectors, museums, etc.
Unfortunately, that person is not me.

"The OP asked for advice/help. You gave him dreck."
I get the feeling that maybe you didn't understand the joke. In the US, a "Danish" is a kind of pastry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_pastry
Hence, the "I eat guys like you for breakfast" remark. Get it?
