In autumn 1949, Nisse and Kajsa's STRING shelf won first prize in the Bonniers library competition. Made up of blue wall panels and pine shelves, their creation beat out 194 competitors from all over Europe, the United States and even Australia. For the 75th anniversary of the String bookshelf, we produced a limited series of 1949 bookshelves with the original blue wall panels and solid pine shelves. Just like the winning 1949 model.
The original Pira shelf designed in 1954 was as contradictory as the man who conceived it. Olle Pira (1927-2018) was a traditional master cabinet-maker who crafted cherry, maple and matured oak with age-old skills. Yet he won a place at the renowned Konstfack school of art, craft and design, the birthplace of concepts ahead of their times. And became the first Swede to win a gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1952.
The CH26 chair was designed in 1950 but was never produced. It was finally made in accordance with Wegner's original sketch. The curved shape of the chair reflects Hans J. Wegner's exceptional craftsmanship and makes it a true classic of Danish design, which does not get older.
The Signature Chair deffers from others by its unrivalled comfort. Available with a solid oak or walnut frame with a leather or fabric upholstery, this 1950's classic design provides comfort and elegance through the use of graceful, curved lines.
Ole Wanscher design by Carl Hansen, 1957. Great classic of Danish design, the Egyptian chair by Ole Wanscher is a beautiful work of art. Elegant and attractive, lightweight but very stable, it is suitable for all types of interiors and can be used as an extra stool or merely for decoration. Easy to move and to store, this foldable stool will delight owners of small spaces.
The CH160 sofa by Hans J Wegner is simple and asymmetrical. The side armrests are completely filled and covered in fabric or leather, which elegantly highlights a design detail on the solid wood structure. Just one of the many details carefully added by the master Cabinetmaker.
The CH100 sofa by Hans J Wegner is definitely contemporary. It was at the time of its creation in 1970, and still is today! The exposed supporting structure in stainless steel and the sofa’s cubic design make it an essential piece for exquisitely designed rooms!
