Yellow armchair set consisting of a sofa and two armchairs in mid-century modern style. The set was designed by Svend Åge Eriksen, a renowned Danish furniture designer, who styled a wide range of items in the 1950s and 1960s, at a time when Denmark was receiving international recognition for its furniture. He is known for the originality and timelessness of his style. His works are simple and modest, crafted in natural materials such as rosewood and teak, and, in particular, are free of sharp edges.

His pieces include tables, desks, sofas, and hall furniture, inspired by nature with soft, organic, elegantly curved lines. He has worked with exotic woods and colorful materials. Vodder has always envisaged the interplay of form and function, for example, new drawer shapes to avoid handles.

His works were very popular on the American market, in the 1960s, the furniture not only reached the White House but could be seen in banks, airline offices, embassies, and hotels across the globe.
