Komfort High Back Borneo Armchairs, Sven Ellekaer, Denmark, 1960s

Danish architect-designer Arne Wahl Iversen can be counted among a significant number of Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian designers whose works, despite a scarcity of biographical information, are experiencing a surge in popularity in the 21st century. From sources such as catalogs, advertisements, and labeled furniture, we can deduce that Wahl Iversen was a prolific designer active throughout the 1950s and 1960s. His designs were produced by a wide variety of small and large Danish manufacturers, including Komfort, Vinde Møbelfabrik, Jørgensen & Nissen, Brenderup Møbelfabrik, Hans Hansen, Kolds Savvaerk and Falster Møbelfabriken. His portfolio expanded from seating options to encompass a wide range of furniture, such as secretaries, dining tables, liquor cabinets, desks and dressing tables, with materials and aesthetics in line with the Danish modern style.
