About the Item

Super comfortable, fully restored, Danish Modern teak Stouby settee. Still doing business after over 100 years, Stouby’s Scandinavian quality rings true in the design of these chairs. Frames constructed of bent, teak wood. Masterfully engineered to create maximum support and style with using minimal amount of materials. Plush seat cushions meet today’s standard for comfort. Produced in the 1980s, this couch would work well in contemporary or midcentury Scandinavian modern decor schemes. Our upholstress did an excellent job on this restoration. The brand new, soft tweed fabric feels wonderful against the skin. Maker’s label sewed into new decking under cushions of this teak Stouby settee. Stouby, the story of 100 years in Danish modern furniture: It all began back in 1902 in a small Danish village, aptly named Stouby, with twenty pounds, half a leather hide, a chaise lounge frame, and some linen. That was all Stouby founder, Marius J. Blirup needed to take the first step. And despite the humble conditions and few capital resources, the furniture manufacturer’s desire to create was great. And Marius Blirup quickly established himself as a frequent exhibitor at “Købestævne” – the renowned international exhibition of the time. A family tale: In 1944 son in law Børge Hansen took over and the family business continued. The company grew, and Stouby furniture was exported to all corners of the world, Austria, England, Kuwait, and the USA. In 1965 The New York Times praised Stoubys chair nr.13 for its sublime functionality and not least the exclusive design. And that same year, Børge Hansen states that: “I started out running a business. Now the business is running me.” New owners: 74 years in the hands of the one family finally comes to an end in 1976. Nonetheless Stouby keeps on growing in the same positive spirit with the new ownership structure and 1981 the old factory buildings finally becomes to cramped. The production moves to bigger and better locales in the village of Løsning, where it resides to this day. The present ownership structure is established in 2009 and Stouby resides at Haremarksvej 7 in Løsning, Denmark.
