Mid-Century Boomerang Chair by Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen

Details

An exceptional and highly recognizable design, the “Boomerang” lounge chair (model FD-135) by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Daverkosen, circa 1950s, captures the essence of Danish modern at its most refined. The sculptural teak frame, defined by its signature boomerang-shaped profile, creates a sense of effortless movement and lightness. Crafted from solid teak, the chair showcases beautifully softened edges and precise joinery, with gently angled armrests that enhance both comfort and visual flow. The seat and back have been reupholstered in vibrant tulip red leather, introducing a bold yet sophisticated contrast that highlights the warmth of the wood. Slender brass legs lend an airy, architectural quality while grounding the design with subtle elegance. The exposed slatted back not only provides structural integrity but also adds depth and rhythm, revealing the thoughtful engineering behind the piece. Rarely found in such a striking presentation, this chair is both a collectible design object and a highly functional seating piece. Its sculptural presence makes it ideal as a standalone accent or integrated into a curated mid-century interior, where it will undoubtedly serve as a focal point.
