Rocking Chair by Hans Olsen for Juul Kristensen

Rocking chair by Hans Olsen, teak frame and fabric upholstery. Very good condition. The Danish Hans Olsen was an industrial designer and architect. After training as a cabinetmaker, he studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under the famous Kaare Kling. He specialised in ergonomics and anthropometry. Upon graduation, Olsen founded his own studio in Copenhagen in 1953 and created furniture for Bramin Møbel, C/S Furniture, Frem Røjle, Juul Kristensen, N. A. Jørgensen, and Verner Birksholm. Although he never achieved the fame of a Hans Wegner or an Arne Jacobsen, his unique creations remain highly sought after by collectors.
