ID solid teak furniture (Johannes Aasbjerg)  

Forgot one minor clue
The same owner has a bunch of pieces for the FM Mobler Kai Kristiansen wall system. They do not appear to be related to the pieces I got. But I might as well mention it on the off chance that it helps identify my pieces.

sideboard seems Sibast?
Arne Vodder.
I assume you've made a steal 🙂 ?

Sideboard detail photos and Vodder
Vodder for Sibast certainly is the closest thing I can find. But there are a number of details that make me doubt it.
-Vodder's drawer pulls are two curves, while these are straight lines.
-Vodder's sliding door pulls are vertical pill shapes, while these are circles additionally
-Vodder sliding doors are reversible, while these aren't designed to be removed (they are held in up top with screwed-on rubber tabs that stick up into a slot in the teak).
-Vodder's did not have exposed dovetail corners. From a construction standpoint, upgrading from 45 degree miter joints to dovetail joints adds a huge amount of construction time and skill, so you don't see dovetail variants as a matter of course.
-Vodder's often had a vertical lip on the back of the sideboard.
Thanks,

Aren't all of Vodder's...
Aren't all of Vodder's Sibast pieces veneered? Your piece has a lot of solid planks. You don't see that very often.

Minor difference between table and sideboard
There is one very minor difference in construction between the table and sideboard that I forgot to mention. The sideboard has a metal diagonal bracket onto which the leg bolts. The table has a teak diagonal bracket screwed to the apron onto which the leg bolts. (Absolutely every piece of wood in the table, down to the rails and leg mounting bracket is solid teak. It is unreal!).
This is the only mite of evidence I can find to suggest a different maker / designer for the table and sideboard. Weighed against the overwhelming preponderance of evidence in support of a shared origin, I think it is probably meaningless....

How to verify Arne Vodder?
After looking at every Arne Vodder sideboard in the Danish Furniture Index and every one I can find through Google, I can't find a matching sideboard. The drawer fronts are so obviously Vodder, and the construction is such high quality that it doesn't make sense but to assume that it is a Vodder design, and rare enough as to be undocumented as yet in the Index or for sale/sold on the internet at large. And according to various sources only about 1/4 of Vodder's designs are currently in the Index, so again it seems possible. Does all of this make sense so far?
Does it make sense by extension that there is a higher probability that the dining table and coffee table are also Vodder designs?
So if I want to verify any of this speculation do the experts here have any recommendations?
My thinking is that I need to try and narrow the field of makers (or verify it as France and Son) and find vintage catalogs/advertisements that might show the piece. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Matching dresser
Here is a dresser that matches the sideboard on 1stdibs.

I really don't think the sideboard or table were designed by Arne Vodder and I doubt they were produced by France & Son.
There are so many misattributed storage pieces out there with Vodders name associated with them because they have a similar shaped drawer frontage.
I really hope you can nail it down as to who designed them, the sideboard does look incredibly familiar but I think you should move away from the Vodder, France & Son idea.

I agree
H.moon: Thanks for adding your opinion here. I am basically at your opinion that the pieces aren't Vodder.
I looked into the Hvidt hypothesis since the pieces look a lot like Hvidt's known work. I turned up a pair of triangular side tables and matching triangular coffee table. The coffee table is identical to the one that came with the lot of my furniture. Of course, they are unmarked as well. (See the link at the bottom of this post).
Four pieces of unmarked furniture excludes the France and Son possibility. (I'll gladly believe one piece in a known line of France & Son might be unmarked, but I can't believe the only four I can find in an unattested line would all be unmarked).
Hvidt might still be a possibility, especially for the coffee table, but the producer must not be France and Son.
What still surprises me about all this furniture is that the designer and producer went to great expense to outdo the other danish modern furniture on the market:
-coffee table is solid teak 1.25 inches (3 cm) thick and 5 feet long. (That's a lot of teak)
-dining table is solid teak, even to the rails. Why not just use beech or something cheap?
-sideboard has dovetailed corners. Even Hvidt's "signature" finger joints are a lot faster to produce than dovetails.
...
And then the maker didn't mark the furniture. This maker was humble (to a fault I would say). France and Son, by comparison did just what we expect to see: they made incredibly beautiful, expensive to produce furniture, and to mark their pieces were they satisfied with just a shiny metal medallion? Oh, no, usually they would mark the piece somewhere else with a stamp filled with gold paint, just to be sure.

Identified! Johannes Aasbjerg Andersen
Got it: Johannes Aasbjerg Andersen. Or perhaps just Johannes Aasbjerg.
(I found an identified sideboard with the same dovetails and other construction details). And lauritz shows a shelving unit by the same producer/designer with the same drawer fronts.
So: can anyone tell me anything about Johannes Aasbjerg Andersen?
Thanks!

H. moon can you help with Arne Vodder pieces?
H. moon, I see you have knowledge of Arne Vodder pieces and would like to know if you have seen a Vodder signature on any pieces and what it looks like?

Proof!
I knew this identification was right beyond any reasonable doubt, but I still didn't have the smoking gun. Johannes Aasbjerg was a hard character to pin down; took almost a year.
The sideboard is model 246, handmade by Aasbjerg and sold by his company: "Excellent Furniture Company." It dates to the early 60s.
And I've got a lot more documentation and a great story to go along with it. Thanks Henry!
More to come.
Below is the original receipt for the sideboard in the photo. Identical to mine.

Thanks for the update Leif, I admire your persistence in tracking down the designer.
How did you come by the old receipt?
