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 3 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.
