This elegant Rio Ottoman, designed by Ole Wanscher for France & Søn, embodies the refined simplicity of Mid-Century Scandinavian design with its solid teak construction. Newly upholstered in luxurious Ebony black leather, the ottoman offers a sleek, modern contrast to the warm, natural grain of the teak frame, enhancing its timeless appeal. Perfectly proportioned for use as a footrest, extra seating, or accent piece, this fully restored item brings a touch of Danish craftsmanship to a living room, study, or collector’s curated space, blending functionality with understated elegance.
Ole Wanscher (1903–1985) was a celebrated Danish furniture designer and architect, renowned for his contributions to Mid-Century Modern design. Based in Denmark, he collaborated with brands like France & Søn to create pieces that emphasized quality craftsmanship and minimalist aesthetics. Trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Wanscher’s work, often featuring teak and leather, earned him international acclaim and a lasting legacy among collectors and design enthusiasts.
France & Søn, a Danish furniture company established in the mid-20th century and based in Copenhagen, Denmark, became a key player in Scandinavian design during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for partnering with designers like Ole Wanscher, the brand gained recognition for its use of premium materials such as teak and its commitment to elegant, functional furniture. France & Søn’s pieces remain highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for their historical significance and enduring style.

The solid Burmese teak frame is in original, vintage condition and shows only minor nicks and light scratches (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but shows no stains, gouges or cracks whatsoever and the teak woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light. The upholstery, recently redone in a genuine Italian leather hide, is in showroom condition showing only the wear of a once living animal (ranch brands, scars etc.). The foam has been replaced with new medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity. This ottoman is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video provided for details on this footstool's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
