Johannes Anderson // Mid Century Designers A to Z

Johannes Andersen (1903 - 1991) began his career as a cabinet maker in Denmark. Over the years, he began designing and building more furniture. He started designing for Swedish and Norwegian furniture factories. His career really took off in the 1950 and 1960s. His most famous designs are organic shaped coffee tables made with teak and rosewood. His sofa design Capri is his most sought after furniture design.  

*It's interesting to note that this is the only picture of him on the internet. In my research I could find nothing of his personal life and not too much information on his business life only lots of beautiful furniture.*

Our favorite piece from Andersen's collection of work is Capri Sofa Series. The lines are so unique and as an upholsterer, I appreciate the craftsmanship it takes to upholster these sofa and chairs so perfectly!
