Hans Olsen's iconic design with floor-bound chairs, hand-woven seats and backrests interprets classic Japanese furniture tradition and design. Also the minimalist frame of this sofa is reminiscent of a low traditional Japanese table. At the same time Olsen's design combines all these elements with the modernist Danish design style of the 1950s and 1960s, all manufactured in high quality craftsmanship.

The high quality three-seater features an elegant low frame in solid wood and steel supports which carries three seats you can freely arrange as single low chairs, as well as a ceramic tray as an option. These low chairs have solid teakwood frames and are covered with hand-woven cane.
The original wickerwork has been partially restored and replaced by a highly skilled professional basket weaver using the authentic braiding and crossover pattern designed by Hans Olsen.

The sofa comes with the all original set of 10 cushion pads. 6 of them are in a goldenrod orange tone and 4 in an olive green tone. So different color combinations and pattern effects are possible. These authentic cushions pads are comfortably upholstered and still have the original woolen covers.

This TV 161 also features a large square modernist tray of glazed ceramic with an abstract graphic motif. This high quality ceramic tray can be inserted when a seating element is placed individually but it can also be hung on the wall as an option.
