A very rare teak lounge dining set by Danish Mid century designer Erik Buch.

PLEASE NOTE - this item has now been sold. If you're looking for something similar please get in touch and we'll do our best to help.

This set features a low lounge dining table with 6 reversible stools and a back rest, and as such is perfect as a space saving dining set for a small dining area as the stools tuck under the table when not in use. The stool tops are also cleverly designed to enable them to rotate and can therefore be used as side tables, which further adds to the functionality of the set.

It’s interesting to note that a number of Danish designers in the 50s and 60s produced dining sets for formal dining but also for lounge dining. This concept echoed the Danish ideal of Hygge that promoted comfort and harmony and as such a low dining set was designed to be used in an informal way and setting. Quite often this involved light meals, drinks and card playing.

Occasionally you will see one, or a pair, of the reversible stools for sale that were mostly produced by Odense Maskinsnedkeri (later renamed OD Mobler) but they don’t compare to the earlier versions produced in small numbers in the mid to late 1950’s by Christensens Møbelfabrik, who also produced Buch’s Model 310 chair. You will immediately notice a difference in build quality, choice of wood, the overall finish and in the beautiful finger joints that hold the stools and the table together. This is also carried through to the finish in the original vinyl upholstered tops that have gently rising sides rather than a pure block form. To therefore find an early set with the table, stools and backrest is a very rare find indeed.

This set is presented in a totally untouched and original vintage condition. As such it has general wear commensurate with age and use but is in really very good vintage condition. The upholstery is also original and again is in excellent condition save one small imprint of a cup base in one top. This can be seen in the photo of the stools but is hardly noticeable depending on the light. There are no rips, tears or holes in the vinyl.

All in all it’s a superb and unusual dining set that is both functional and beautiful using clean, crisp modernist lines and would therefore be at home in both a traditional or contemporary setting.

20th Century Design Soft Furnishings Policy

The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and 1993) state that all soft furnishings holding foam must conform to BS5852 standards. This means that any post-1988 furniture will need to bear a fire label for auction and 2nd hand sale purposes.

The following exceptions apply:
• Items constructed pre-1950 [Regulation 4(a)]
• Items being sold to someone who is in the business of reupholstering furniture [See Regulation 4[b] and Consumer Protection Act 1987, s.46(7)]
• Items being sold to someone who is in the business of dealing in
furniture [Regulation 14(1)]
• Items being sold that will not be used in a domestic setting in the UK e.g. for export, for use in a museum or theatre, as a work of art [Regulation 3(1a) and 4(c)]

Soft furnishings for sale on this website are therefore sold as collector’s items and are not intended for private use – and in buying any item from this website you understand this. Further you accept all risks and liabilities that may arise from your purchase. They may not be in compliance with the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 and should be re-upholstered to conform to BS 5852 prior to any use in a domestic dwelling. Your purchase will therefore only be accepted on the agreement that the furnishings will not be used in a domestic dwelling.

The Mid-Century and 20th Century period has been recognised as eras of increased interest to collectors for many years now. On this basis the relevant soft furnishings on our website have been carefully selected to be collector’s pieces which are purchased for their design qualities and should be stored in such a way as to reflect this.
