Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen and Torben Lind Slipper Chairs
Danish
Known for their clean and simple Scandinavian modern pieces, Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen and Torben Lind were immensely influential in promoting Danish mid-century modern design across Europe and around the world during the 1960s and 1970s.
Danish furniture designer Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen (1930–2009) graduated from the School of Crafts in 1952 and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen until 1955. He later met Danish furniture designer Torben Lind (1928–2016), and beginning in 1962 the pair collaborated on creating designs for Danish furniture manufacturer PP Møbler.
During the 1960s, Gjerløv-Knudsen and Lind established a reputation for their designs that were not only functional and eye-pleasing, but also comfortable and durable. Using high-quality materials such as beech, teak, fine leather and plywood, Gjerløv-Knudsen and Lind’s sofas, lounge chairs, side tables, coffee tables and living room sets are light, precise and beautifully minimalist.
Throughout their long collaboration, Gjerløv-Knudsen and Lind designed furniture for several Danish and Scandinavian manufacturers, including Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik and France and Søn. Among their most popular designs was the Moduline Slipper chair for France and Søn, which featured an oak frame, leather upholstery and modular body that could be adjusted into a settee. Gjerløv-Knudsen and Lind also designed the iconic Skopa chair for IKEA in the early 1970s.
Today, Gjerløv-Knudsen and Lind’s designs are highly desirable among architects, interior designers and collectors of classic Scandinavian modern furniture.

Scandinavian Modern Scissor Lounge Chair by Folke Ohlsson for DUX
By Dux of Sweden, Folke Ohlsson
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome and iconic Scandinavian Modern Scissor lounge chair designed by Folke Ohlsson for DUX. It is in wonderful vintage condition. The wood frame has been restored; however, there may still be small signs of age. We did have to fill some rather deep flaws in the wood. The straps have been replaced with appropriate new straps. And the foam cushions are new and newly upholstered. Please see photos, circa 1950s.
Now you can get all your DUX in a row!! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. This is the iconic and beautiful Scissor Lounge Chair. It was designed by Folke Ohlsson for his company DUX, Inc. purportedly in 1949. It is so incredible in its simplicity and when viewed from the side you can see immediately where it got its name. We are very excited about this wonderful chair here at our shop. Its walnut frame has been completely restored and we have replaced all the straps, which were beyond repair, with proper strapping. Plus, we have made new foam cushions and upholstered them in a fabulous black and taupe horizontal stripe fabric.
