Pair of lounge chairs designed by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Daverkosen in Denmark in 1953. This pair of iconic model FD-146 chairs feature a walnut-stained beechwood frame with new high-density foam and cushion tweed upholstery.  These lounge chairs were crafted using a few studio techniques: laminated bentwood curvilinear arms and beautifully joinery, showcasing excellent craftsmanship from the designers. The backrest curves for optimum lumbar support and the new springs provide a comfortable seating experience. A delightful and simple design that perfectly illustrates the elegance and sophistication of Danish Modern design. Both chairs have been fully restored by our expert team, adding many more years of use.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
