Mid-Century Danish Teak & Fabric Dining Chairs by Arne Hovmand Olsen, Set of 8

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A set of eight Mid-Century dark stained teak and fabric rail back dining chairs designed by Arne Hovmand Olsen and produced by Mogens Kold.

These Olsen chairs are a classic design of his and were produced by Mogens Kold in the 1960s. These particular chairs, with the rail back and gently curved stretchers, have a more refined rustic shape than Olsen’s other designs and would have originally been produced with the paper cord seats – but, as with many chairs from the 60s, the paper cord has long since perished and has been replaced by padding and fabric. However, this actually makes them more comfortable and easier to maintain and the beautiful cornflower blue material compliments the teak frames well.

The chairs are in very good vintage condition: The wooden frames are in their original finish which is in good order and each show a few knocks and marks here and there just as you would expect with vintage chairs of this age. The corn flower blue upholstery has been professionally upholstered sometime in the recent past and is therefore in excellent condition with no stains, marks, holes or tears.

The chairs are shown in the last two photographs with a large rosewood table and you can see that the dark stain of the teak is a good match not only to most teak tables but also to rosewood or mahogany. The table shown has since been sold and is therefore shown for size and colour comparison purposes only.

About the Creator

Arne Hovmand Olsen

Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born in Kirkeby Sogn in 1919. During his formative years, Hovmand-Olsen showed an aptitude for drawing and design and, in 1938, began a cabinetry apprenticeship with the cabinetmaker Peder Olsen Sibast at his eponymous furniture manufactory on Denmark’s island of Funen. Interested in producing his own designs, Hovmand-Olsen enrolled in a technical school specializing in furniture design in Århus in 1941. After graduating, he established his own furniture studio, creating designs in the Scandinavian modern style. His furniture was sold only in Denmark but later found great success when it began to be exported to America.

Hovmand-Olsen’s designs span seating, tables, and secretaries, all of which are characteristically simple in form with clean lines, organic curves, and tapered legs. Like many of his Danish contemporaries, he favored the use of high-quality, beautifully grained woods like teak and rosewood. Notable designs include his Model 175 Chair (1955)—which is often mistaken for N.O. Møller’s Model 77 Chair due to their similar forms—and the Model 240 Lounge Chair for Mogens Kold (1958).

Hovmand-Olsen worked steadily designing furniture for companies such as Alf Juul Rasmussen, A. R. Klingenberg & Søn, Bramin, Elven Geertsen, J.L. Møller, Jutex, Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik, P. Mikklesen, Pedersen & Knap, and Skovmand & Andersen. Sometime in the 1970s, he was forced to close his studio due to illness.

Hovmand-Olsen passed away in 1989.
