Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for Søborg Møbelfabrik, dining chair, model '316', teak, papercord, Denmark, 1955.

Wonderful original examples of this timeless classic of post war modernism by the Danish design duo Mølgaard-Nielsen and Hvidt. The beautiful curved teak backrests are attached to the frame with 12mm dowels whilst the lipped back is attached with the help of a pair of splines demonstrating an outstanding attention to detail.

A figurative teak of the highest quality was used in the construction of the frames, with four horizontal cross stretchers between the legs enhanced by the addition of two diagonal ones, providing a charming design feature, whilst adding to the structural integrity of the chair. The seats are upholstered in the original laced papercord.

€420 per chair.

Hans Wegner desk model PP312 1955 with solid oak top produced by PP Mobler, Denmark. 120w x 66d x 72.5h cm. €3.400.

Set of 8 Arne Vodder rosewood dining chairs including two carvers. model no. 418 and 418b 1950’s, newly upholstered in black aniline leather.

This rare set of Arne Vodder chairs are executed in a highly figurative Rio rosewood with vivid grain patterns. It has a rich, deep chocolate color with reddish and purplish overtones and its beauty and desirability is perhaps unrivaled for cabinetmakers. Indeed it was so sought after by furniture makers in the past that since the 1970’s it has been a protected species and therefore can no longer be used for cabinetry.

These are elegant and well proportioned chairs with a simple construction. Two cross stretchers are all that’s needed to provide stability to the well crafted chairs. The simple backrests are adorned by a curved sloping detail at the tops of the rear legs. The 418b carvers have sensible horizontal arms which marry angular lines with curved edges and contribute to the chairs sculptural appearance.

Arne Vodder (16 February 1926 – 27 December 2009) was a Danish furniture designer, a close friend and partner of Finn Juhl who had been his teacher. His designs were simple but with an elegant sophistication and charisma. The quality of his work was always exceptional and he is said to have hand picked the finest pieces of teak and rosewood for his furniture as can be seen in this example.

Hans Wegner’s work was characterized by clean functional simplicity and this is evident in the oak frame of the GE 290, designed by the master architect in 1959. The confident straight lines of the arms and front legs are softly rounded at the edges to provide balance and evoke comfort. Evenly spaced slats structure the back, sturdy and uncomplicated but somehow exude a captivating alure. The long curving reach of the back legs by contrast ads a sense of dynamism to the design.
