hans olsen?
i am thinking it may be by hans olsen.
from what i am seeing, he did a lot of sofas with the similar rosewood frame on the sides and same type of lines.

The set is
made by Godtfred H Petersens workshop and is a design of their own.
Often mis-attributed to Hans olsen but he has not designed it.
Features on page 93 of Design from Denmark

Nicely done Simon
I wonder why the logo on the pieces is a "HH"and the logo shown in the magazine is a single "H". Reminds me of France and Søn's logo with the doubled F for the son.
Simon, you probably know was this what the Danes did/do when the son joins the family business? Or just a complete nonsense I've made up on the fly?
Anyway, I think the son in question: H Høpner Petersen must be somehow connected to the HH logo.
And now I will stop idly speculating...
