Folke Ohlsson

Swedish designer Folke Ohlsson (1919-2003) is closely associated with Dux, the Swedish maker that also established production in the United States. His lounge chairs, sofas and side chairs of the 1950s and 1960s combine sculpted teak or walnut frames with generous upholstery, expressing the warmth and practicality of Scandinavian modernism for an international market. Collectors look for pieces bearing the Dux label, with crisp frames and original construction.
