About the Item
Fabulous Danish Modern pair of black painted blonde oak bentwood lounge chairs upholstered in purple fabric designed by Rud Thygesen & Johnny Sorensen, made by Magnus Olesen, distributed by Rudd International Furniture of Denmark. Circa, Late 20th Century. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. The frames of these chairs had some flaws that were best repaired and covered so we chose to paint the original light oak and deep beautiful black. Original upholstery is in fabulous condition. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century.
NOTE A: We do have listings here as well for a pair of chairs or all 5 chairs just in case that makes it easier and there is a little price break that way.
NOTE B: The chair in the photo is an example. We will send you photos of the exact chair/chairs you will be getting prior to shipping.
What a pretty pair of purple chairs!!! And they bear QUITE the reputation!! This is a wonderful pair of Danish or Scandinavian Modern lounge chairs designed by the elite Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sorensen for Magnus Olesen and distributed by Rudd International Furniture of Denmark. They are comprised of gorgeous black painted oak frames with flared out bentwood arms and straight legs that are actually one piece and they feature front and back stretchers which hold the molded seat giving it a floating illusion. AWESOME!! The seat and backs are upholstered in a wonderful purple fabric, and they exude a unique organic Danish Modern feel. Their ergonomically sculpted and designed seats are both alluring in style and ridiculously comfortable! We can easily see these lounge chairs in an Organic or Danish Modern setting, but they will look equally as beautiful in your industrial loft or in a modern country style setting. They would also be wonderful extra seating in your living room or in a game or theater room! And if you are outfitting a commercial office…these would be perfect! Wherever you use them, these fabulous purple lounge chairs are ready to take your seating experience to the next level!
Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sorensen both graduated for the Danish School of Arts, Crafts, & Design in 1966 and opened their own design studio that same year. While still in school they established a cooperation with Magnus Olesen. In 1971 Magnus Olesen was involved in the first models of a range of laminate furniture of which the mutual connection; both technologically and aesthetically, is apparent in aesthetic and functional design. They created multiple furniture series, mostly laminated woods and have contributed greatly to the development of molded and laminated woods and have designed some of the most prestigious Danish furniture pieces. After a 30-year successful partnership in 1995, both designers ended their partnership and went on to pursue solo careers. -Nordic Emotions
Magnus Olesen was founded in 1937 with a strong belief in Danish craftsmanship and is still a well-reputed furniture company today. They develop and manufacture functional designed furniture of high quality and durability in cooperation with today’s leading designers and architects. Since its founding Magnus Olesen has worked with such well-respected designers as Kofod-Larsen, Kai Kristiansen, Rud Thygesen & Johnny Sorensen, Niels Gammelgaard, Busk & Hertzog, and lately also Strand & Hvass & Says Who… always remaining true to its design roots while keeping up with the developments of time. Their well-established design and production company is located in Durup Denmark, and they have a gorgeous Showroom located in Copenhagen.
These lounge chairs are the epitome of Danish or Scandinavian Modern excellence… created by elite designers for a renowned international company and manufactured from a platform well-known for their attention to quality, comfort, and timeless designs. Plus, their PURPLE!! What are you waiting for? Make them yours!!

Magnus Olesen
For the better part of the past century, Magnus Olesen has been producing sturdy and functional furnishings for the modern lifestyle. With a focus on durability and exceptional quality, the Danish manufacturer continues to uphold the traditions associated with Scandinavian modernism — its artisans adhere to standards of the highest caliber in the construction of its widely revered armchairs, lounge chairs, stools and other pieces, which are crafted in a range of rich woods such as ash, oak and teak with a prioritization on practicality and ergonomics.
Cabinetmaker Magnus Olesen founded his eponymous company in 1937 in Denmark, and since then the brand has been producing functional, elegant furniture for interiors all over the world.
The work of the designers associated with vintage Scandinavian modern furniture was founded on centuries-old beliefs in both quality craftsmanship and the ideal that beauty should enhance even the humblest accessories of daily life. Some of the designers that have partnered with Magnus Olesen over the years include Kai Kristiansen — a Danish cabinetmaker known for his innovative mid-century wall units — duo Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sørensen, and Ib Kofod-Larsen, who was one of the best-selling Danish furniture makers in the United States during the 1950s, a time when Scandinavia’s simple, curvilinear wooden furniture, home goods and textiles suddenly seemed the perfect foil for America’s glass-and-steel skyscrapers.
With a showroom in Copenhagen and a production facility in Durup, Magnus Olesen remains in business today. The company primarily focuses on home furnishings but also produces a range of furniture for offices, the hospitality industry and healthcare facilities.

The wood frame has been restored; however, there may still be small signs of age. We did have to fill some rather deep flaws in the wood. The straps have been replaced with appropriate new straps. And the foam cushions are new and newly upholstered. Please see photos, circa 1950s.
Now you can get all your DUX in a row!! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. This is the iconic and beautiful Scissor Lounge Chair. It was designed by Folke Ohlsson for his company DUX, Inc. purportedly in 1949. It is so incredible in its simplicity and when viewed from the side you can see immediately where it got its name. We are very excited about this wonderful chair here at our shop. Its walnut frame has been completely restored and we have replaced all the straps, which were beyond repair, with proper strapping. Plus, we have made new foam cushions and upholstered them in a fabulous black and taupe horizontal stripe fabric.
