I got a sofa set recently that is much like the Hvidt/Mølgaard-Nielsen Minerva sets - very similar legs and lower frame, similar wedge-shaped back cushion. Sprung cushions and quality construction throughout...
However, the arms are these rattan and teak units, rather than the solid teak ones on the Minerva (and with a different mounting bracket design that allows the arm to be mounted in a downward position for daybed use), and the corner table is this one with tambour doors.
Hoping someone else has seen one like it, because I have not been able to find out anything about it thus far...

Is the area underneath the weaving lighter than the exposed portion? From the pictures, it looks that way to me. If so, they are probably stained beach and based on the way the arms look, might be Selig.

Jesgord, the cross pieces under the rattan are either beech or oak, as you observed, but the corners are teak, dowelled into those blonde wood sections. You can see the joints on close inspection.
The Hvidt chairs I wove also had beech under the rattan, and I think that was not unusual, and done by other makers besides Selig.

It's probably made by Wilkhahn Germany.

This is a photo after putting it together in a friend's garage. Sorry for the cell phone image, but it was the best I could do tonight.
