By Preben Schou Andersen
Located in Deland, FL
This elegant Model 333 three-seater sofa by Schou Andersen embodies the refined simplicity of Danish Mid-Century Modern design from the 1980s. Crafted from solid beech, the frame showcases the wood’s smooth texture and warm, honeyed tones, with clean lines and subtle curves that highlight its Scandinavian aesthetic. The original floral upholstery, featuring a delicate pattern in soft, earthy hues, adds a touch of vintage charm while complementing the beech’s natural beauty. The sofa’s slatted backrest and ergonomic design ensure both comfort and style, making it a versatile piece for a modern living space or a collector’s curated interior. Produced by Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, this sofa reflects the company’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless design, capturing the essence of late 20th-century Danish furniture.

Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik was known for producing high-quality furniture, including dining chairs, tables, and sofas, that exemplified the Danish Modern movement’s emphasis on functionality, minimalist forms, and natural materials like teak, rosewood, and beech. Their pieces, including the Model 333 sofa, gained recognition for their durability and elegant design, contributing to the global popularity of Scandinavian furniture.

Operating primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s, Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik specialized in crafting furniture from premium woods like teak, rosewood, oak, and beech, focusing on clean lines, ergonomic design, and meticulous craftsmanship.

8 Kai Kristiansen Mid-Century Modern Model 31 Danish Teak Dining Chairs
By Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik, Kai Kristiansen
Located in Chattanooga, TN
A masterful embodiment of Danish Modern elegance, this complete set of eight Model 31 dining chairs by Kai Kristiansen (crafted for Schou Andersen in the 1950s/60s) offers a rare blend of sculptural finesse, ergonomic grace, and historical pedigree. With their subtle A-frame profiles and gently curved upholstered backs, these chairs resonate with both architectural clarity and inviting comfort—echoing Kristiansen’s foundational training under the ergonomically intuitive language of Kaare Klint.
Each chair boasts beautifully sculpted teak frames where the arm supports flow seamlessly into subtly splayed legs, achieving a delicate balance between strength and fluidity. The overall form is restrained but never austere, allowing the natural warmth of teak to come forward as the true focal point.
Comfort is paramount: the chairs were engineered with ergonomics in mind, offering excellent back support and a seated posture suited for extended dining or conversation. Many of these Model 31 chairs have been sympathetically restored—featuring refinished frames and custom upholstery options in fabrics like wool, velvet, or leather—resulting in a harmonious marriage of vintage craftsmanship and contemporary refinement.
Beyond design, this set carries cultural and collectible significance. Kristiansen was a prolific Danish designer whose work embodied clean lines, thoughtful ergonomics, and functional sculpture. His career, informed by his early apprenticeship and subsequent studies, fueled some of the most enduring forms in mid-century furniture design.
Stunning set of eight Kai Kristiansen Danish Teak Chairs. The Model #31 chairs were designed by Kristiansen and produced by Schou Andersen. Each chair stands as a work of art, captivating the eye from every angle. The crescent shaped back and angled legs are similar to that of a compass chair… named so because it resembles the tool. The back legs flare inward slightly and are reminiscent of Kristiansen’s #42 chairs. These chairs have been updated with new taupe upholstery. These heirloom quality Danish chairs are sure to elevate your collection. Consider pairing these with one our Danish teak dining tables and credenzas (sold separate).
19.5” Wide x 18.5” Deep x 29.5” Height (17.5” seat height)
Condition: New upholstery. Chair frames are original. There are some scratches on some of the legs and arm spanners.
