Mid-century furniture by Svend / Skipper Mobel Skipper (Denmark)

Skipper Mobler is a Danish furniture manufacturer founded in 1955 by Svend Skipper. The company is known for its mid-century modern furniture, which is characterized by its clean lines, simple designs, and use of natural materials such as teak and oak. Svend Skipper was a self-taught furniture designer who was inspired by the work of other Scandinavian designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner. He began his career working for other furniture manufacturers, but he eventually decided to start his own company.

The first pieces of furniture that Skipper Mobler produced were designed by Svend Skipper himself. These pieces were well-received by the Danish public, and the company quickly gained a reputation for quality and innovation. In the 1960s, Skipper Mobler began to collaborate with other designers, including Takashi Okamura and Eric Marqvardson. These collaborations resulted in some of the company's most iconic pieces, such more... as the Model 91 lounge chair and the Model 77 dining table.

Skipper Mobler continued under the founder's ownership until the 1980s, when the company was sold to the Nyberg family, and it continues to trade under the Skipper name. less...
