Nordic design armchair and footstool, 70s. Cherry wood and taupe leather. Measurements: 85 x 78 x 90 cm (armchair); 40 x 75 x 70 cm (footrest). Set consisting of a comfortable armchair with matching footrest, both pieces of furniture with cherry wood structure in its natural colour and taupe leather upholstery, with a padding which, as well as providing comfort, gives a classic touch to the design, as a reference to the typical 19th century quilted capitonné upholstery. The structural lines are clearly visible, and take on special relevance through the warmth of the wood, uprights and crosspieces with proportionate, slightly curved lines, evoking an organic form that refers to the tradition of Nordic cabinetmaking. On top of this structure, the fully upholstered bodies, resting softly on the wood, like old furs.

IB KOFOD-LARSEN (Denmark, 1921 - 2003). Armchair, ca. 1960. Teak wood, fabric upholstery. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 80 x 72 x 72 cm. Armchair made of teak wood with fabric upholstery. Design by Niels Koefoed, refined and clearly modern, with a certain organic air typical of Danish design of the period. The wood, simply polished, is expressed in all its natural beauty. The body has a high, straight, sloping backrest, separated from the closed arms, with right-angled upper armrests. Danish furniture designer and factory owner Niels Koefoed created a wide range of dining furniture in the typical Danish mid-20th century modern style. The KoefoedsHornslet furniture factory, named after the town in which it was located, was founded by Koefoed's father, Einar Koefoed, in the 1920s. The town of Hornslet had three furniture producers at the turn of the 20th century, each specialising in different areas of the design industry: fine furniture, upholstery and joinery. KoefoedsHornslet was dedicated to the production of fine furniture, although Niels' most popular designs were dining chairs. In 1964, Koefoed designed the modernist Eva Chair, which featured three vertical slats in the backrest, and was produced by Koefoeds in a choice of teak or rosewood. The "Eva" chair was part of a series of three dining chairs, the other two being the highly organic "Ingrid" chair (1960s) and the ladder-back "Lis" chair (1961), all of which are believed to be named after important women at Koefoed's. In 2004, KoefoedHornslet moved production to Thailand, where it continues today.

In the style of JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Pair of armchairs. Walnut wood. Fabric upholstery with floral decoration. With signs of wear and tear. With xylophages. The wood needs to be reworked. Measurements: 73 x 55 x 47 cm. Pair of armchairs of Central European style, framed within the Viennese Secession, with structure in walnut wood with structure of parallel bands, functional and of refined volumes. An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a disciple of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by Secession artists, and the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop which had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.
