Timeless Danish Furniture Treasures That Remain Popular in 2025
In 2025, several iconic pieces of vintage Danish furniture continue to grace contemporary homes, appreciated for their timeless design, craftsmanship, and blend of form with function.
Among the favourites are Hans J. Wegner’s chairs, such as the CH07 Shell Chair, first released in 1963 and revived in the '90s by Carl Hansen & Søn. This combination of bent plywood, oak, walnut, and supple leather has a low, wide stance, making it a perfect addition to corners and various rooms that need seating with soul.
Another popular choice is the Folke Ohlsson Lounge Chair & Ottoman, a living room piece that people genuinely want to use due to its tactile upholstery, curved wood arms, and unfussy profile. Designed in the 1960s, this teak-frame chair with a reclining mechanism and sunny yellow bouclé upholstery is a testament to the durability and timeless appeal of Danish design.
The Ib Kofod-Larsen Elizabeth Sofa, for Christensen & Larsen, is another classic. This leather-and-rosewood sofa features a gently reclined back, a floating seat cushion, and sculptural arms, making it comfortable for everyday lounging and having a distinct presence, yet being low-slung and elegant without being fragile. It pairs beautifully with newer elements and helps create a home that’s layered, personal, and designed to last.
The Ib Kofod-Larsen Elizabeth Sofa also captures the black leather furniture trend seen at the April High Point Market in 2025.
The Johannes Andersen Rosewood Sideboard (1968) is a long and low sideboard with a curved design, featuring figured rosewood veneer. Versatile, it is suitable for dining rooms, entryways, or media consoles. Despite many contemporary sideboards, it stands out due to its balance and subtle elegance.
Danish teak furniture, including dining tables and sideboards, is also highly sought after for its warm wood tones and durability. The natural patina teak develops over time adds character to these pieces.
These vintage Danish furniture pieces are loved for their beauty, craftsmanship, comfort, and staying power, making them ideal for bringing warmth, texture, and longevity into favourite spaces. They are not just pieces of furniture; they are investments in timeless design and enduring quality.
The key to choosing vintage furniture is to choose what feels true to a client's space, not just what fits a firm's Instagram feed. Vintage Danish furniture pieces, such as the ones mentioned, still feel right at home in 2025 because they sidestep trends entirely. They are pieces that will continue to be cherished for generations to come.
