Hans Olsen was born in Denmark in 1919 and trained as a cabinetmaker before enrolling at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art. In 1953 Olsen set up his own studio where he designed and produced a series of exciting pieces in a distinctive style, exhibiting them at the annual fairs of the Cabinetmakers Guild in Copenhagen.
This pair of sculptural, organic and classically Danish modern designed armchairs by the talented Hans Olsen offer a refined look to a contemporary space. Simple forms and clean lines in solid teak, these armchairs offer comfort with an effortless style. Beautiful curved armrests and a thoughtful, considered frame are supported with loose cushions in a neutral weave.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.
