MODUS by Kristian Solmer Vedel SET of 3 lounge chairs 1 stool & 2 coffee tables

About the Item

This set was designed by Kristian Solmer Vedel for the renowned Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik in Denmark. It boasts excellent original condition. The set includes two lounge armchairs and a lounge armchair with a high backrest and an upholstered stool, which can also be used as a footrest. From a beautifully crafted and impressively sturdy tropical timber frame, a lightweight mesh serves as the seat straps, cradling supple and gracefully tufted leather cushions filled with goose down for optimal comfort and flexibility. Two coffee tables with their removable original brushed aluminum table tops complete this exceptional set. Kristian Solmer Vedel was a Danish industrial designer who made a significant impact in the field. Born on March 2, 1923, and passing away on March 5, 2003, Vedel's legacy continues to inspire and shape the world of design. He completed his carpenter apprenticeship in 1942. From 1944 to 1945, he was a guest student of Professor Kaare Klint at the furniture department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In 1946, he graduated from the Department of Furniture Design at the School of Arts, Crafts and Design in Copenhagen, where he also lectured from 1953 to 1956. From 1947 to 1949, he served as Chairman of the Danish Furniture Designers. He was the driving force behind the establishment of the Industrial Designers of Denmark and served as the inaugural chairman of the association from 1966 to 1968. His work is unmistakably shaped by the German Bauhaus style. Kristian Vedel organized and headed the Department of Industrial Design at the University of Nairobi in Kenya between 1968 and 1971. He and his wife Ane returned to Denmark in 1972 to open a design studio on Thyholm in northwest Jutland. On Thyholm, Kristian Vedel devoted most of his time to cultivating the surrounding landscape, breeding Shropshire sheep, and researching the use of their wool, hides, and meat.
