BIOGRAPHY

Danish born Arne Vodder studied in Copenhagen under his friend and mentor, Finn Juhl. The pair later worked together as they went on to establish themselves as the pre-eminent Scandinavian designers of the mid-century period. In 1951, Arne Vodder began collaborating with designer Anton Berg. The pair worked together on over 1000 modular housing projects with one of Denmark’s largest builders. Over the next few years, Vodder began working with Fritz Hansen, France & Son, Cado and Sibast, which launched a range of Arne Vodder furniture in 1959.

Throughout the late 1950''s and early 1960''s, Vodder worked with Sibast, designing furniture that found a huge market in corporate offices and banks throughout the United States.  His famous desk design was collected and used by U S president Jimmy Carter and Libyan leader al-Gaddafi.

Arne Vodder’s mid century modern design, with it''s stylish materials and exacting proportions, remain contemporary and modern; in strong demand more than 50 years after they were last produced.
