Arne Hovmand-Olsen Woven Pieces
Arne Hovmand-Olsen Woven Pieces
Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born in Kirkeby Sogn in 1919; passed away in 1989.
Arne began a cabinetry apprenticeship with the cabinetmaker Peder Olsen Sibast at his furniture factory.
Hovmand-Olsen enrolled in a technical school specializing in furniture design in Århus in 1941. After graduating, he established his furniture studio, creating designs in the Scandinavian modern style.
Hovmand-Olsen’s designs were simple in form, with clean lines, organic curves, and tapered legs.
Notable designs include his Model 175 Chair (1955)—which is often mistaken for N.O. Møller’s Model 77 Chair, due to their similar forms
Hovmand-Olsen designed furniture for Alf Juul Rasmussen, A. R. Klingenberg & Søn, Bramin, Elven Geertsen, J.L. Møller, Jutex, Mogens Kold Møbelfabrik, P. Mikklesen, Pedersen & Knap, and Skovmand & Andersen.

Arne Hovmand Olsen designed Chair 175 for Mogens Kold. I'm not sure if it's true for these lovely vintage chairs; however, this set used flat-headed nails to attach the Danish cord to the chair frame.
As part of the restoration process, Caning Canada removed the old material and supply and installed the Danish hook nails before weaving the new Danish cord.

David is just about a professional staple remover. Now I'm a highly competitive person. In this case, I step aside and let David do his thing. David is my champion in many ways, including being my number one staple remover. Thank you, David.
Once the staples have been removed, David installs the Danish hook nails and other appropriate fasteners before weaving the new Danish cord.
This chair looks very similar to Hans Wegner's W2 Chair, as shown to the right.
Caning Canada restored the W2 chair with a binding cane.
The final result of both chairs is beautiful and shows how changing material or pattern changes the look of a chair.
