ARNE VODDER was a Danish architect and furniture designer who was a student of Finn Juhl. Vodder and Juhl later became close friends and business partners.
Vodder designed for companies such as Fritz Hansen, France & Son, Cado, Ivan Schlechter, Bovirke, Vamo and Slagelse. But it was his partnership with P. Olsen Sibast that really cemented his career. Vodder designed a range of desks, tables, chairs and cabinets for mainly office use, which were very successful both in Europe and North America and are still very sought after today. His playful use of color, especially on his sideboards and cabinets, was one of his most loved design characteristics. His designs were modest yet elegant and very well proportioned.
Arne Vodder is considered one of the leading designers of the Modernist movement and his work is highly sought after and collected around the world.
