Elegant pair of arm chairs model 810 designed by Arne Vodder and manufactured by Slagelse Møbelværk, Denmark 1959. These lounge chairs are built from sturdy blond ash wood frames and have recently been reupholstered in a green fabric that matches the period they were designed in. The fabric is a soft mix of green with white threads running through. The chairs are well-made, paying attention to detail, especially on the armrests. The end of the armrests has a thoughtful upward curve, fitting your handpal m comfortably, a characteristic of Danish design. An interesting detail is the visible screw on the side of the frame. The seats, often called ‘bucket seats,’ are fully upholstered with a separate seat cushion in the same color. The entire seat is slightly angled for extra comfort. In excellent condition.
Kindly note that the listed price is for the pair of 2 chairs.
Arne Vodder is considered one of Denmark’s most prominent architects of the mid-20th century. He was trained by master carpenter Niels Vodder at the School of Interior Design in the mid-1940s and completed his training by becoming a qualified architect at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1947, where his teacher and mentor was Finn Juhl.
Arne Vodder is renowned for his simple, organic style, and his elegant design and profound understanding of materials made him an imposing figure in Danish Modernism. In the 1950s and 1960s, he entered into close collaboration with Sibast Furniture, designing a lot of the furniture exported by the company, much of which was used to furnish distinguished offices all over the world, including the White House, the Vatican and the UN.
