Oda Lounge Chair
Originally dubbed Model 9, the Oda Chair was an ambitious design from the very beginning. Created by Arnold Madsen in around 1956, the aesthetic reinterpretation of an armchair has a complex horseshoe construction with an integrated headrest and beautifully incorporated armrests in wood. Offering comfortable support, the embracing design was initially – and mistakenly – attributed to Nanna Ditzel. In 2020 it was rightfully credited to Madsen. Constructed according to a vintage version as there are no drawings of the original design, the Oda Chair profiles a sublime level of craftsmanship, evident in the intricacy of its upholstery. Available with legs in natural oak or walnut.

Walnut
Please note: as each sample is crafted from natural wood, variations in colour and grain are to be expected. An oil finish enhances the characteristics of solid walnut, bringing out the depth and warmth of the wood while helping to repel moisture and dust to contribute to the longevity of the furniture. A reapplication of oil can often remove minor imperfections to rejuvenate the appearance.

MEET THE DESIGNER
Arnold Madsen
Arnold Madsen (1907–1989) remains an underrecognized figure of the Danish Modern era, despite creating iconic furniture. Born in North Jutland, he worked as a sailor before emigrating to Canada, where he lived as a cowboy and rodeo rider. After returning to Denmark, he trained as an upholsterer and, in 1945, co-founded Madsen & Schubell with Henry Schubell, producing successful designs until the mid-1960s. Unlike many peers, Madsen wasn’t formally trained in design or architecture. Quiet but determined, he pioneered experimental furniture focused on round forms and elegant, comfortable construction. His Oda Chair showcased innovation with a welded steel frame and bent plywood shell. He also designed the Clam Chair in 1944, often misattributed to Philip Arctander. Similarly, the Oda Chair was long credited to Nanna Ditzel, but both are now recognized as Madsen’s work.
