About This Piece

Vintage Design

The two teak chairs come in very good condition. The beautifully finished teak frames are in excellent condition and have an attractive warm wood tone which harmonizes perfectly with the earth tones of the fabric upholstery. The cushions are made of a solid wool fabric and show hardly any signs of wear. The head rollers are fixed to the chair with brown leather straps and form a beautiful design element. The seating comfort of the armchairs is impeccable. This armchair is the model with a high backrest.

These teak armchairs were designed in the 1960s by the Danish architect Arne Wahl Iversen, who is one of the most sought-after Mid Century Modern designers. They were manufactured by the Danish manufacturer Komfort, which is known for the highest quality teak furniture.

About the Creator

Arne Wahl Iversen

Danish architect-designer Arne Wahl Iversen can be counted among a significant number of midcentury modern Scandinavian designers whose works—despite a scarcity of biographical information—are experiencing a surge in popularity in the 21st century.

From sources such as catalogues, advertisements, and labeled furniture, we can deduce that Wahl Iversen was a prolific designer active throughout the 1950s and 1960s. His designs were produced by a wide variety of small and large Danish manufacturers, including Vinde Møbelfabrik, Jørgensen & Nissen, Brenderup Møbelfabrik, Hans Hansen, Kolds Savvaerk, and Falster Møbelfabriken.

Some of Wahl Iversen’s designs were also produced by Swedish giant Ikea. The Model 56 Desk was probably designed in the late 1950s, and was certainly in production by August 1960. The rounded Prim Chair for Ikea is believed to have been designed in the 1960s, as was the Varie Drinks Cabinet.

Wahl Iversen’s earliest designs—including the Number 14 Chair, Number 15 Flamingo Sofa, and Number 19 Sofa—were produced by Hans Hansen from circa 1954. His portfolio expanded from seating options to encompass a wide range of furniture, such as secretaires, dining tables, liquor cabinets, desks, and dressing tables, with materials and aesthetics in line with the the Danish modern style.

About the Maker

Komfort

Danish furniture manufacturer Komfort is known for producing mid-century pieces during the 1950s, and ‘60s by well-known Danish architect-designers Sven Ellekaer, Arne Wahl Iversen, and Ole Wanscher. The pieces - which span tables and various styles of seating including sofas and lounge chairs —were designed in the Danish modern style that reigned at the time. The chairs and sofas feature hard angled armrests and bases made out of teak or rosewood, and tended to have cushions upholstered fabric or leather.

Although no information is available on the manufacturer itself, and very little biographical information can be found on the designers, Komfort’s legacy lives on through its representation on the vintage market.
