Hold onto your kombucha, because this modular seating unit is about to take your living room from meh to magnificent!
Straight out of the Danish design playbook of the 1960s and into your stylish home, this Hans Olsen masterpiece for Bramin Møbler is like the Swiss Army knife of furniture. Picture this: a solid teak daybed/bench that’s got more tricks up its sleeve than a magician at a kid’s birthday party. Accompanying this beauty are two low-slung chairs with caning, freshly refinished, they practically squeak "new."
These chairs aren't just regular chairs; they’re the chameleons of seating. Slide them into the bench for an American-style setup that screams “family movie night,” or place them on the floor for a traditional Japanese vibe that whispers “zen AF.” And let’s not forget the solid teak coffee table, which also moonlights as a bench buddy, fitting perfectly into the mix.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Each piece in this modular wonderland can be moved around like puzzle pieces, giving you endless seating arrangements. It’s like having a living room made of Lego bricks but way classier. The set even comes with its original cushions, which we've had custom reupholstered in a luxurious white bouclé that’s so soft, you’ll feel like you’re sitting on a cloud. Use them or not—the choice is yours. Comfort and aesthetics are having a party, and you’re invited!
And here’s a juicy tidbit; this piece was made famous by the Bramin case study house ‘Bass House’ or ‘#20B’, completed in 1958. Designed for the legendary industrial and graphic designer Saul Bass and his brilliant biochemist wife, Dr. Ruth Bass, this home showcased the versatility of this set. In the vintage photos, you can see the TV bench strutting its stuff in the living room and by the pool, proving it's just as comfortable indoors as it is soaking up the sun. Saul Bass was known for using these chairs directly on the ground, as pictured, embodying that laid-back, cool-kid vibe we all aspire to.
Every inch of this set has been expertly refinished to bring out the natural beauty of the teak, making it shine brighter than your aunt’s silverware at Thanksgiving.
