Provenance:

Jens Nielsen Museum, Holstebro. The square daybed was designed in 1959 as a part of the interior for Tårnby City Hall. The City Hall was constructed 1957-1959 after drawings by Poul Kjærholm's mentor, Professor Haldor Gunnløgsson. The daybed was never put into serial production by E. Kold Christensen and was only made by special order. Only a very few examples by E. Kold Christensen are known besides those made for Tårnby City Hall. This present example was made by special order for the Jens Nielsen Museum in Holstebro, Denmark. A building constructed 1969-1971, and designed by the architects Inger & Johannes Exner.
