About the Item

Whisk yourself away to a time where design was a reflection of nature and artistry with this enchanting pair of Swedish mid-century teak armchairs, reminiscent of the iconic style of Arne Hovmand Olsen. Radiating the golden warmth of the 1960s, each chair is a testament to an era where woodwork met whimsy, and style met substance. The chairs showcase the rich, swirling grains of teak—a wood beloved for its durability and beauty. The fluid, streamlined design, characterized by its delicate curves and understated elegance, exemplifies the simplicity and functionality that Swedish mid-century design is renowned for. But what truly sets these armchairs apart is their period-perfect floral fabric. A delightful tapestry of blooming flowers in a dance of colors, the fabric encapsulates the playful yet refined spirit of the 60s. Every petal and leaf tells a story, inviting onlookers to lose themselves in a world where nature meets nostalgia. Perfectly at home in a modern setting or a vintage-themed room, these chairs offer not just seating but a sensory experience. The touch of teak, the visual delight of the floral patterns, and the embodiment of a design era that championed both beauty and comfort. To own this pair is to welcome a slice of history into your space. Let these Arne Hovmand Olsen-inspired chairs be the touch of timeless elegance and charm in your home, a bridge between the past and the present, and an ode to the magic of mid-century design.

  • Pair of Pine Armchairs by Rainer Daumiller, Denmark, circa 1980
    By Rainer Daumiller
    Located in Norwalk, CT
    Rainer Daumiller's Pine Armchairs, crafted in Denmark circa 1980, are a harmonious blend of raw nature and refined design. Each chair feels as if it has been sculpted from the heart of a majestic pine, capturing the very essence and spirit of the forest. Upon first glance, the chairs exude a rustic simplicity, reminiscent of traditional Scandinavian aesthetics. Their sturdy form speaks of their humble origins in the dense woods of Denmark, while the pine itself has a soft, grainy texture that evokes a sense of warmth and comfort. Daumiller's artistry lies in his ability to marry organic forms with functional design. The chair's backrest gently curves, echoing the natural arch of the human spine, while the armrests extend like sturdy branches, welcoming the user into a comforting embrace. There's an earthiness to these chairs, and each one feels like a unique piece, shaped by nature and the craftsman's hand. The legs of the chairs are solid and grounded, reminiscent of tree trunks firmly rooted to the ground. Yet, despite their solid form, there's a certain lightness to them - as if they were whispering tales of gentle breezes and rustling leaves...
