Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born inKirkeby Sogn in 1919. During his formative years, Hovmand-Olsen showed anaptitude for drawing and design and, in 1938, began a cabinetry apprenticeshipwith the cabinetmaker Peder Olsen Sibast at his eponymous furniture manufactoryon Denmark’s island of Funen. Interested in producing his own designs,Hovmand-Olsen enrolled in a technical school specializing in furniture designin Århus in 1941. After graduating, he established his own furniture studio,creating designs in the Scandinavian modern style. His furniture was sold onlyin Denmark but later found great success when it began to be exported toAmerica.
Hovmand-Olsen’s designs span seating, tables, and secretaries,all of which are characteristically simple in form with clean lines, organiccurves, and tapered legs. Like many of his Danish contemporaries, he favoredthe use of high-quality, beautifully grained woods like teak and rosewood.
Hovmand-Olsen worked steadily designing furniture forcompanies such as Alf Juul Rasmussen, A. R. Klingenberg & Søn, Bramin,Elven Geertsen, J.L. Møller, Jutex, Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik, P. Mikklesen,Pedersen & Knap, and Skovmand & Andersen.
