Designer: Hans Olsen  

Manufacturer: Frem Rojle, Denmark

Description: A highly sought after dining set in Burmese teak designed in the 1952 by Hans Olsen for Frem Rojle, Denmark.

The teak table is covered in original white melamine, which we think will date this early production table to the mid to late 1950s. The surface has signs of some fifty years of use, including various chips to the melamine at the edges and one small area which has yellowed with time. The melamine top is useful for the younger family as any spilt drinks etc won't prove as damaging as those on a bare teak surface!

The table has the Danish Furniture Makers Control label to the underside but we cannot see the usual Frem Rojle burn mark (see image 6 which also shows the different surface to the underside on these early tables).  This is definitely a Frem Rojle production (and is sold as such) and in those early days the makers may not have been as rigorous in applying the stamps. The chairs all have both the Frem Rojle burn mark and the Danish Furniture Makers Control labels (see image 7).

The table is in good vintage condition including structurally, as are the four chairs which are all sound. One chair has had a repair some years ago to one leg (see image 4) but otherwise it is in very good order and should provide many years of further use. One other chair has a 25 mm split to the original vinyl on the seat (see image 5). The are one or two other vinyl chips to the sides of the seats but essentially these chairs are in good vintage condition for their age.  The chairs have the option of the black vinyl padding to the rail on the seat back...
