About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Christian Sorensen Sucupira reclining chair with pull out stool for Gorm Möbler circa 1960. A graduate of Denmark’s famed Kunsthandwaerkerskolen, or School for the Arts & Crafts, Sorensen studied under a who’s who of Danish modernism, including Hans J. Wegner, Borge Møgensen, and Bender Madsen. Upon graduation, he opened his own studio; furniture designed and produced there were exhibited at Milan’s Triennale in 1955. Sorensen moved to Montreal the following year, working on major commercial and transportation projects, and eventually becoming involved in the design of three pavilions in the legendary Expo ’67. His elegantly minimal Respons chair was introduced by Keilhauer in 1990. Twenty five years later, it is still in production. “Chris was a mentor and influenced me greatly,” says Mike Keilhauer, the company’s president. “I am happy that I knew him and grateful that he touched my life.” Sorensen spent the last decades of his life in Spain with his wife Marie Thérèse, retiring in 1995 though still continuing to design. Outside of Respons-filled offices, his work lives on in permanent collections around with the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. We have found 2 references to this fabulous chair one of which (w w w danish-modern co uk shows a copy of a 1960 advert for this chair). Christian Sorensen is one of many little known Danish designers of the 1950s and 1960s and Gorm Mobler were a small quality maker. This reclining chair with pull out stool is mainly solid Sucupira but the footstool pulls out on an oak frame, so top quality manufacturing. This very nice reclining armchair has new upholstery in a fire-retardant Blue and Brown Jacquard Velvet by Aldeco. It has several positions, upright, reclining and slightly rocking too, the footstool can be set in a couple of positions. Unfortunately, the branded mark for Gorm Mobler has disappeared during the years.
