Folke Ohlsson

Sweden 1919-2002 

Swedish furniture designer Folke Ohlsson is perhaps best remembered for his role in progressing the popularity of Scandinavian furniture in midcentury America.

Born in 1919 and raised in Sweden, Ohlsson moved to the United States in 1953 and immediately established Dux Incorporated as an American iteration of its Swedish namesake—at the time, the Nordic country’s largest manufacturer of upholstered furniture.

We have not offered any works by Folke Ohlsson at auction
