Arne Hovmand-Olsen easy chair

This rare easy chair, designed by Arne Hovmand-Olsen and produced by A.R. Klingenberg & Søn in Denmark during the 1950s, exemplifies the refined elegance of Scandinavian mid-century design. Crafted from teak, the chair features a warm, durable wooden frame with a distinctive angular and sculptural silhouette. The seat and backrest are composed of handwoven cane, which adds texture, flexibility, and an organic contrast to the smooth teak surfaces.

The chair’s dynamic stance is emphasized by its backward-leaning legs and seamlessly integrated armrests, which feature an openwork design that reduces visual weight and enhances the fluidity of the piece. The woven cane complements the frame’s contours, creating a harmonious balance between structure and natural material.

Arne Hovmand-Olsen was celebrated for his innovative woodworking and minimalist approach, emphasizing material integrity and functional comfort. This chair reflects his commitment to Scandinavian modernism, combining craftsmanship with clean, elegant lines.

The chair is in good vintage condition with use consistent with its age. Dimensions are 68.5 cm in width, 74 cm in depth, and 82 cm in height (approximately 27 x 29.1 x 32.3 inches), with a seat height of 40 cm (15.7 inches).
