Hans Olsen
Born in 1919 in Denmark, Hans Olsen (1919-1992) was a Danish furniture designer who created numerous pieces in his own distinctive style. He pursued his studies at the Royal Danish Academy under the direction of the famous designer Kaare Klint from 1941 to 1943. He opened his own studio in 1953 and began to exhibit his works at the Cabinetmakers Guild in Copenhagen. Il n’est pas considered comme faisant partie de l’école moderne danois traditionnelle mais réalisé des pieces pour cercins des fabricants danois de grande renownement comme Bramin Møbler et Juul Kistensen.
Olsen's work is characteristic of mid-20th century design, presenting plunging organic curves and the fusion of multiple materials in one piece. The designer was known for his innovative utilization of wood lamellé plié, as evidenced by his emblematic Bikini Chair. Created for the first time in 1960 for Frem Røjle, a furniture manufacturing company, this aura led to the many collaborations for several pieces, now famous. Conçue pour flatter ses courbes tel un bikini, cette creation est un exemple du style moderne danois du milieu du siècle, se distinguant par son distinctive design et son utilization innovante des materials.
Another must-have piece of the creator is the Fried Egg Chair. This chaise longue is unique in its genre. It reflects personality and caprices en gardant le confort d'une chaise de qualité. C’est sa forme depuis le haut qui lui a donné son nom, « œuf au plat » en français. Elle offre des accoudoirs plats qui vous invitent notably à balancer vos jambes dessus, quand vous avez vraiment envie de vous détendre. Elle existe en de multiple modèles pour tous les design amateurs qui souhaitent ajouter un peu de nervosité à leur maison in the form of a furniture design unique to the roots of Danish modernism.
