Scandinavian Living Room Set by Johannes Andersen for AB Trensums Fåtöljfabrik, 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This set of furniture was produced by AB Trensums Fåtöljfabrik from Sweden around 1950s/1960s. Like most furniture from Scandinavia, this set was made with great care and accuracy, which was observed throughout the renovation process. It has an extremely interesting design and beautiful line that’s still fresh and enchanting nowadays. The set has undergone a thorough upholstery renovation, the seats have been completely replaced and the new upholstery fabric comes from the German company - Sahco. The textile used in this particular project is Safire in light cream and mint melange, color no. 0006, (composition: 43% viscose 17% polyacrylic 15% new wool 9% cotton 8% linen 8% polyester). It reminds very much of the original fabric that you can see in the last picture from an archival catalog. The green fabric used on the inside is linen combined with cotton. The furniture is set on a beautifully shaped teakwood frame that has also been restored and finished in clear wax-oil. This particular design is extremely rare to be found nowadays.

About the Creator

Johannes Andersen

While information on designer Johannes Andersen is limited and difficult to verify, it is believed that he was born in 1903 in Aarhus, Denmark, and that he initially apprenticed as a cabinetmaker. He went on to work for many years in a number of workshops before opening his own architectural and furniture workshop in the 1930s.

Andersen’s designs span seating, tables, and storage in well-crafted materials, such as rosewood and teak. His career paralleled the midcentury’s growing appreciation for Danish furniture designs, and he attracted international attention—particularly for coffee tables like the highly sculptural Smile Table.

Andersen worked steadily for his own firm—as well as Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian companies such as Trensum, CFC Silkeborg, Bramin, and Uldum Møbelfabrik—until he closed his shop in his eighties. He passed away in 1991.
