Product description
Rare Danish Design 'Longette' Dining Suite by Hans Olsen for Frem Røjle – 6 Nesting Chairs An exceptional, ultra-rare mid-century modern design project for vintage enthusiasts and dealers. Designed by iconic Danish architect Hans Olsen in 1961 and manufactured by the renowned workshop Frem Røjle Møbelfabrik in Denmark, this is the highly sought-after rectangular "Longette" (Model 720/21) dining suite. While the circular "Roundette" version is famous worldwide, this expanding rectangular version is significantly rarer and highly collectible. ✨ The Design & Spatial Ingenuity The hallmark of this brilliant Danish design is its incredible space-saving engineering. Each of the 6 matching T-back chairs features a flat-edged top rail meticulously contoured to the table's apron. When not in use, the chairs snug in completely flush and neat underneath the table frame, leaving a zero-clearance profile that mimics a seamless wooden puzzle. The suite showcases an elegant, high-contrast pairing of warm Teak veneer across the main surfaces and rich, dark Afromosia (African teak) structural legs and chair frames. 📐 Precise Dimensions - Table Width: 94.5 cm - Table Length (Compact): 139.5 cm - Table Length (Extended with built-in leaf): 190 cm - Table Height: 75 cm - Chair Height: 72.5 cm - Chair Width: 50 cm - Chair Depth: 42 cm - Seat Height: 42.5 cm 🔍 Condition Report (Honest & Untouched Project) This set is offered in its 100% original, un-refinished estate condition—making it the ideal restoration project to preserve its historical value. - The Table: The central extension mechanism functions smoothly. The top veneer surface features a classic compressed wood dent (visible in close-up photos). - The Chairs: The structural integrity is good; one chair's back leg joint has been historically re-glued. The original black faux-leather upholstery is entirely present but some chairs shows age-related stretching and minor wear on the rubbing edges where they slide flush against the table. - Markings: The underside retains its crisp, authentic "Frem Røjle / Made in Denmark" factory hot stamps along with original workshop batch-control tracking numerals. This is an incredible opportunity for a restorer, dealer, or MCM connoisseur to acquire a rare architectural centerpiece and bring it back to pristine showroom standards.
