Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard Nielsen for France & Søn, 'Silverline' lounge chair, Ohmann Colorado nubuck leather, teak, aluminum, Denmark, 1960s

Presenting a stylish lounge chair with an architectural flair designed by the Danish duo Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard Nielsen for France & Søn. Dubbed the "Silverline," this model embraces an aesthetic aluminum accent along its expressive teak wooden legs. Among the notable creations by Hvidt & Mølgaard, the Silverline stands out with its robust presence, characterized by clean, straight lines in its design. The intersecting wooden legs extend seamlessly to the back of the seat, incorporating a delicately thin metal line. The elevated legs contribute to an open and airy appearance, balancing the solid structure of the seat.

Danish designer duo Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907-1993) worked together between 1944-1975. The couple, originally trained as architects, designed around 250 furniture objects. The first dismountable chair has been designed by the couple, that created an enormous boost for the Danish furniture export. In 1950, their best-known design, the AX-chair went into production by Fritz Hansen. The implementation of double bent laminated wood, a technique normally used to produce tennis rackets, was a huge breakthrough for the upscaling of furniture production as it reduces the average production time. Thanks to this revolutionary technique, Denmark became the leader in Modern furniture manufacturing.
