The frames of these chairs had some flaws that were best repaired and covered so we chose to paint the original light oak a deep beautiful black. Original upholstery is in fabulous condition.

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!

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
