Danish 1960s Atomic Age Lounge Chairs by Kurt Ostervig Midcentury
About the Item
Amazing set of Danish lounge chairs with low and sleek organic design lines and just the epitome of the best the Danish designers of the 1960s had to offer. Some of these fantastic designs of the late 1960s were in many ways the last hooray for Danish modern before the styles started to change significantly up during the 1970s. These rarely seen chairs are attributed to Kurt Ostervig and manufactured by either Ryesberg or Rolschau Mobler. The chairs are sturdy and solid but needs to be re-upholstered.

Kurt Østervig
Kurt Ejvind Østervig was born in 1912 in Odense, Denmark. He was originally trained and worked as a shipbuilding engineer. However, by the 1930s Østervig shifted to furniture design because of his passion for woodworking.
Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. In 1947, Østervig opened his first own studio as a freelance furniture designer, with a focus on modern design. In the following decades, he worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture producers of the period.
Østervig was exceptionally versatile, designing furniture for hotels, cinemas, and won numerous design competitions during his career. He won awards at the Milan Triennale in 1953 and 1960. In the 1960s, one of Østervig’s designs was selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Østervig had a flair for the dramatic, infusing his furnishings with unique elements that stood out. From elegant, organic to coarse and purely functional furniture, his versatility earned him recognition.
