Kristian Solmer Vedel “Modus” Settee, Tropical Wood & Leather, 1963
About the Item
A settee comprised of two individual armchairs featuring one arm each—here we have the Modus system by Kristian Vedel for Søren Willadsen, 1963. Ultimate sophistication through simplicity, this unadorned but aesthetically robust design delights the eye and supports the body. Maximum optionality is preserved without sacrificing any comfort or functionality when the pair are placed abreast of one another. From a sublimely figured and extremely dense tropical timber frame hangs a light mesh which acts as the seat straps—supporting supple and elegantly tufted leather cushions, filled with goose down for pliability and comfort.
Set remains in excellent vintage condition ready for decades of enjoyment and use. Both examples are marked with original manufacturer’s export label. Set is available for viewing in Brooklyn, NY.

View AllVintage Arne Hovmand-Olsen for Mogens Kold Teak Lounge Chair-Denmark, 1960s
By Arne Hovmand-Olsen, Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik
Located in Brooklyn, NY
A lovely and dynamically-proportioned lounge or easy chair attributed to Arne Hovmand-Olsen and manufactured by Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik (metal manufacturer's stamp to underside) in sculpted teak and original boucle wool upholstery. Deeply patinated teak lends visual contrast against the off-white upholstery. Completely original condition down the the seat straps and brass hardware. Sophisticated seat cushion and backrest mounting system consisting of custom brass spacers which create a suspended effect to the panels keeping the design very airy and light.
Hovmand-Olsen’s designs span seating, tables, and secretaries, all of which are characteristically simple in form with clean lines, organic curves, and tapered legs. Like many of his Danish contemporaries, he favored the use of high-quality, beautifully grained woods like teak and rosewood. Notable designs include his Model 175 chair (1955)—which is often mistaken for N.O. Møller’s Model 77 chair...
