Hans Olsen Highback Armchair for C.S. Møbler

Condition: Good condition with moderate signs of use. The foam on the armrests has hardened in places. One wooden leg has been repaired. The Dane Hans Olsen was an industrial designer and architect. After training as a cabinetmaker, Olsen studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under the renowned Kaare Klint. There, he focused on ergonomics and anthropometry. After completing his studies, Olsen established his own studio in Copenhagen in 1953 and designed furniture for Bramin Møbel, C/S Furniture, Frem Røjle, Juul Kristensen, N. A. Jørgensen, and Verner Birksholm. Although he never achieved the same level of popularity as Hans Wegner or Arne Jacobsen, his unique works remain highly sought after by collectors today.
