Scandinavian Folke Ohlsson Teak Settee in Jack Lenor Larsen "Caravan" Velvet

Creator: Folke Ohlsson -Jack Lenor Larsen
Offered by: Jarontiques

Description
Scandinavian Modern settee by Swedish designer, Folke Ohlsson for Fritz Hansen upholstered in Jack Lenor Larsen "Caravan" cotton velvet fabric (ca. 1960s, Denmark).
Delightful, diminutive piece whose vibrant, geometric-pattern lends itself to a variety of decorating styles.
The original owner, a notable set decorator, draped the piece in linen when it was in use, as to preserve the upholstery. There is minor wear, as shown (light marks/impressions to the back, some spotting, and minor, general wear). Overall, the fabric is in very nice shape for its age and undoubtedly usable as is with minor wear.
Works well in any room, but small enough for boudoir/foyer use.
