OLE WANSCHER MAHOGANY SIDEBOARD
Est: $50 - $10,000
An iconic piece of Danish design history, the Rungstedlund sideboard by Ole Wanscher is timeless in its exquisite luxury and minimalist silhouette. Produced by Poul Jeppesens Furniture in St Heddinge, Denmark, during the 1960's and 1970's, the Rungstedlund dining collection was named after the manor house owned by author and adventurer Karen Blixen in Rungsted, just north of Copenhagen. Looking at this sideboard, one can easily see how Wanscher was inspired by both the timeless elegance of this country estate and the adventurous spirit of its owner. The bold silhouette - with its substantial blocked cabinet balanced on airy squared legs - speaks to Wanscher's daring Modernist spirit, while rich mahogany grounds the piece in quiet luxury. With the ample storage space it provides, this sideboard is the perfect choice for a modern dining room or living space! Dimensions: H 32.5" x W 71" x D 19" Condition: One small chip (as shown); a few dings and scuffs. Presents beautifully overall. D163 (G), 675

OLE WANSCHER (Denmark, 1903-1985) for FRANCE & SON. A pair of “Senator” armchairs. Solid teak frame. Original loose brown leather cushions. Made in France & Son, with label from here. In good vintage condition. Measurements: 79 x 68 x 74 cm. Seat height 43 cm. Considered integral to the core aesthetics and functionality of Danish design, Ole Wanscher studied alongside Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He subsequently worked at Klint's design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and it will continue to be so, even if hundreds of years pass, for this is how long it lasts.” Today, his modern classics are still revered. for its details and deep respect for materials. While traveling through Egypt and Europe, Wanscher studied furniture design, finding inspiration in various visual expressions that he incorporated into his own unique design aesthetic. He saw furniture design as a branch of architecture and emphasized slender dimensions and sturdy forms, a pursuit exemplified in many of his works, particularly the Colonial Chair and the Colonial Sofa. Wanscher created his best-known designs primarily between the late 1940s and early 1960s, in the post-war era, when the philosophy of "design for all" emerged. In Denmark, some of the biggest names in design created functional and affordable furniture for Danes and the small spaces in which they lived. Wanscher was very interested in industrially produced but high-quality furniture, designing several successful pieces. Wanscher's design earned him numerous accolades, including the Annual Prize of the Copenhagen Carpenters' Guild and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960, honors that underlined Wanscher's esteemed reputation both in Denmark and internationally. France & Søn - and its predecessor, France & Daverkosen - are among the most sought-after names on the vintage market today. Many of the pieces that still circulate retain their original labels. Its productions were designed by the most important Danish designers of the mid-century, such as Hvidt & Mølgaard, Grete Jalk, Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder and Ole Wanscher.
