Notes
Especially popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s and still highly collectable today, Ohlsson’s armchair and sofa designs are prized for their graceful blend of traditional details and modernist simplicity.
During the 1950s and 1960s, several of Ohlsson's designs were manufactured under licence by Fritz Hansen who bought production rights from the Swedish company DUX.
