Audo Oda Ottoman

ODA OTTOMAN 

Designed by Arnold Madsen 

Designed for use with Arnold Madsen’s Oda Chair but equally purposeful alone, the Oda Ottoman profiles the same careful craft and embracing form, shaped to offer comfortable support when seated.

Constructed according to a vintage version as there are no drawings of the original design, the Oda Ottoman profiles a sublime level of craftsmanship, evident in the intricacy of its upholstery. Available with legs in natural oak or walnut.

DESIGNER

ARNOLD MADSEN 

Arnold Madsen (1907–1989) remains an underrecognized figure of the Danish Modern era, despite creating iconic furniture.

Born in North Jutland, he worked as a sailor before emigrating to Canada, where he lived as a cowboy and rodeo rider.

After returning to Denmark, he trained as an upholsterer and, in 1945, co-founded Madsen & Schubell with Henry Schubell, producing successful designs until the mid-1960s.

Unlike many peers, Madsen wasn’t formally trained in design or architecture. Quiet but determined, he pioneered experimental furniture focused on round forms and elegant, comfortable construction. His Oda Chair showcased innovation with a welded steel frame and bent plywood shell.

He also designed the Clam Chair in 1944, often misattributed to Philip Arctander. Similarly, the Oda Chair was long credited to Nanna Ditzel, but both are now recognized as Madsen’s work.
