Description
This 1960s Danish reclining armchair is stunningly beautiful. A sought-after Danish high back lounge chair designed by Arne Vodder for France & Son, this model, with its distinctive split-back profile and reclining frame, is crafted in solid teak with sculpted armrests and elegant tapering legs.
Arne Vodder is one of the great Danish designers of the mid 20th century. Vodder had an impressive start in the design world, being trained by Finn Juhl and going on to work with him. He later opened a studio in 1951 with Anton Berg and the pair designed low-cost houses which proved to be extremely popular. Furniture became his main focus however and he designed for various companies such as Fritz Hansen, Cado and France & Son. Vodder’s designs are known for their understatement, elegance, rich timbers and organic edges. His pieces are truly timeless and are, unsurprisingly, still in hot demand.
France & Søn, and its predecessor France & Daverkosen, are among the most sought after names on the vintage market today. Numerous pieces that are still in circulation retain their original identifying labels and were designed by major midcentury Danish designers, like Hvidt & Mølgaard, Grete Jalk, Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder, and Ole Wanscher.
This super cool Danish mid century modern recliner is structurally sound and ready for your home. Cushions are firm. Fabric is untorn but shows some signs of use. You can use the chair as it is or add your own touch by having the cushions recovered. Fantastic price on it too. A quick search online will confirm how well priced this one is.
