Arne Vodder

 Denmark (February 16, 1926 - December 27, 2009 )

Trained by Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder expressed immense creativity in his simple and modest designs. Using materials such as teak and rosewood, Vodder designed his furniture to be free of sharp edges. One of his most famous pieces is a rosewood sideboard which had its drawers shaped in a way that avoided the need of handles.

Manufacturer

The year was 1908. In the countryside on the island of Funen in Denmark the son of a skilled cabinetmaker was born. His name was Helge Sibast.

Helge Sibast grew up and became his fathers apprentice. He worked hard, dedicated and soon developed skills of high quality craftsmanship. He took over his fathers business and began expanding. Thinking about craftsmanship in a new way. He had a natural sense for challenging wood as a material and began creating his own designs.

By the 1950’s and 60’s he had created a furniture factory employing over 120 craftsmen crafting some of the finest furniture in Danish design history. The furniture was sold around the world. The company was called Sibast Furniture. That man was my grandfather.
