Vintage Design
The Dane Hans Olsen was an industrial designer and architect. After training as a carpenter, Olsen studied architecture at the Danish Art Academy with the renowned Kaare Kling. Here it focused on the topics of ergonomics and anthropometry.
After his studies, Olsen founded his own studio in Copenhagen in 1953 and designed furniture for Bramin Møbel, C/S Furniture, Frem Røjle, Juul Kristensen, N. A. Jørgensen and Verner Birksholm.
Although he never achieved the popularity of Hans Wegner or Arne Jacobsen, his unique works are still in high demand among collectors today.
Solid oak frame. The armrests are made of teak. Covered with suede. The seat cushions were reupholstered with deer leather.
