Worth taking note of are two extraordinary chairs, attributed to the architect Henning Hansen. They are from approxima- tely 1928 and most likely made by the cabinetmaker Louis G. Thiersen. Hansen is best known for his buildings, such as the Town Hall of Frederiksberg, while his work as a furniture designer is far more unknown. Originally, Hansen was educated as a cabinetmaker in Odense, but he continued his education and became an architect in the early 1900s at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After his graduation, he travelled around Europe and became associated with the École Francaise d’Athènes (The French School of Athens) in Greece, where he participated in the excavations of one of the religious hubs of classical antiquity on the island of Delos. The chairs of- fered at the auction are clear representatives of Art Deco – a style characterized as a conglomerate of inspirational sources, ranging from the Avant-garde movement’s focus on geometry to the many historic excavations being done at the time. These aspects are clearly present in the two chairs up for auction (cat. no. 1148 and 1149). With his outstanding lighting abilities, Poul Henningsen (PH) is a well-known guest at our auctions, but this time we have also managed to consign a unique blue and white painted four-poster bed from around 1926. PH was extremely productive in these early years of his career, and at the ”Inter- national Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts” in 1925, he presented his first varia- tion of the PH lamp, which has become one of the great milestones in Danish design history. What is much less known is that PH also designed a handful of furniture pieces in the 1920s, which in the case of the offered four-poster bed is an indication that he had not found his well-known modernist idiom at this time. The bed with the baluster columns was made to order for PH’s in-laws at Dron- ninglund Castle in Northern Jutland, where he supervised the refurbishment of the Castle’s stable and agricultural buildings. Since then, the four-poster bed has been in private Danish ownership but was exhibited at the ”Kunsten” Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg in connection with the 100th anniversary of the architect (cat. no. 1162). These early Danish furniture pieces are offered alongside examples of the Swedish equivalent to Art Deco, called ”Swedish Grace”. Furthermore, the auction spans a wide range of design treasures by Flemming Lassen in the shape of a sofa made in 1942 by cabinetmaker Jacob Kjær and a rare armchair with the peculiar name ”The Hussar” from 1935. Finn Juhl’s best and most well-known furniture classics have also found their way to the auction (cat. 1143, 1144 and 1171). It is not hard to picture the many Danish design classics of this auction being designed in the dif- ferent drawing offices of Copenhagen to the sound of jazz music. It is also entirely imaginable that the architects, like the proponents of cultural radicalism in Denmark, saw a liberating potential in this musical genre. At the autumn auction, we join in with a musical memorabilia in the form of the Danish musician Jesper Thilo’s Selmer Saxophone, originally purchased by American jazz legend Ben Webster. The two began a musical friendship in Copenhagen during the 1960s, which was then a vibrant international jazz metropolis. On the occasion of the sale, jazz musicians from Chris Minh Doky’s ”Come Fly Away Orchestra” will be playing at the opening of the preview on 13 September (cat. no. 1105). Read more page 62.

    CLASSIC, MODERN LAMPS 1967 and the Furniture Prize in 1977

    2016 DESIGNERS Pandul is the sole licensed manufacturer of lamps designed by some of the very best and most well known Danish architects & designers: Furniture designer & architect Hans J. Wegner, Professor & architect Jørgen Gammelgaard, artist and sculptor Henning Koppel and most lamps by Industrial designer Erik Magnussen. HANS J. WEGNER > 1914 - 2007 > OPALA, THE PENDANT Hans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark. In 1936, at the age of 22, he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, later returning as a teacher. In 1943 he opened his own design studio and created the Chinese Chair, which, along with his 1949 Round Chair, formed the basis for many of his later chairs. The Round Chair became known simply as The Chair. While The Chair is probably the main icon of Wegner’s career, the Wishbone Chair is widely considered to be his most successful design. Hans J. Wegner was also a brilliant light designer. His pendant from 1962, “The Pendant” has been in production ever since. Both The Pendant and his futuristic Opala-series – originally designed in the seventies for Hotel Scandinavia in Copenhagen – are now manufactured by Pandul. Hans J. Wegner received many international awards for his work and in June 1997, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by The Royal College of Art in London. JØRGEN GAMMELGAARD > 1938 - 1991 > TIP TOP, VIP Jørgen Gammelgaard belonged to a generation of skillful furniture designers who all learned their craft in the time-honoured Danish apprenticeship tradition. Following his apprentice- ship Gammelgaard studied with Grete Jalk, and then became a student at the Danish Royal Academy’s furniture school, working under Poul Kjærholm and Ole Wanscher.

    ARNEARNE JJAACOBSENCOBSEN THETHE TTONGUEONGUE THE TONGUE We fell truly, madly, deeply in love with this chair We admit it. We just fell in love. When the opportunity arose to take Arne Jacobsen’s Tongue chair under our wing at HOWE, we couldn’t resist. Does it sound crazy? That’s fine. We’re happy to say that we’re more than a little mad about this delightful chair. 4 5 A lost classic returns You see, the cutely named Tongue is a Danish design classic that went missing. Designed right after the Ant chair in 1955, the Tongue was always one of Arne Jacobsen’s favourites but never really found a home. Now the Tongue is back. 6 7 A visionary designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is one of the best known designers of the 20th century. An extraordinary man of immense vision, Arne Jacobsen occupies the pinnacle of modern Danish design. His work epitomises Danish modernism and is held permanently by museums, prized by collectors, and employed throughout the world in home, work and educational environments. 8 9 Arne Jacobsen’s childhood Arne Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen in 1902. He was an only child in a family where the father was a wholesaler and the mother was one of the first women in Denmark to be trained in banking. The family home was a true Victorian styled home which probably led a young Arne Jacobsen to paint the walls in his room white as a contrast to the lavishly decorated interior. 10 11 12 13 A natural talent for painting At the age of 11 Arne Jacobsen was sent away to a boarding school.

    Scandi Navian Design Catalog

    SCANDI NAVIAN DESIGN CATALOG modernism101 rare design books Years ago—back when I was graphic designing—I did some print advertising work for my friend Daniel Kagay and his business White Wind Woodworking. During our collaboration I was struck by Kagay’s insistent referral to himself as a Cabinet Maker. Hunched over my light table reviewing 35mm slides of his wonderful furniture designs I thought Cabinet Maker the height of quaint modesty and humility. But like I said, that was a long time ago. Looking over the material gathered under the Scandinavian Design um- brella for this catalog I now understand the error of my youthful judgment. The annual exhibitions by The Cabinet-Makers Guild Copenhagen— featured prominently in early issues of Mobilia—helped me understand that Cabinet-Makers don’t necessarily exclude themselves from the high- est echelons of Furniture Design. In fact their fealty to craftsmanship and self-promotion are constants in the history of Scandinavian Design. The four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all share an attitude towards their Design cultures that are rightly viewed as the absolute apex of crafted excellence and institutional advocacy. From the first issue of Nyt Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri published by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts in 1928 to MESTERVÆRKER: 100 ÅRS DANSK MØBELSNEDKERI [Danish Art Of Cabinetmaking] from the Danske Kunstindustrimuseum in 2000, Danish Designers and Craftsmen have benefited from an extraordinary collaboration between individuals, manufacturers, institutions, and governments. The countries that host organizations such as The Association of Danish Furniture Manufacturers, The Association of Furniture Dealers in Denmark, The Association of Interior Architects, The Association of Swedish Furni- ture Manufacturers, The Federation of Danish Textile Industries, Svenska Slojdforeningen, The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo put the rest of the globe on notice that Design is an important cultural force deserv- ing the height of respect.
  • Arne Jacobsen DESCRIPTION

    Arne Jacobsen DESCRIPTION

    AJ52 | SOCIETY TABLE – Design: Arne Jacobsen DESCRIPTION The AJ52 Society Table by Arne Jacobsen is a distinctive piece featuring a desk, lamp, table shelf and drawers in one seemingly floating piece. It brilliantly showcases Jacobsen's ability to make the complex appear simple. The desk is made of solid wood, veneer and steel and the tabletop is covered with fine-structured leather that opens at the corners to expose the legs. The wooden shelf has two compartments with glass sides and the integrated lamp is made in brushed stainless-steel. Attached with four metal tubes, the drawer unit appears suspended beneath the table, adding to the overall impression of lightness. The elements create a sophisticated, modern and elegant work desk. The AJ52 Society Table is available in two sizes and the six-drawer unit can be mounted on either side of the desk. The shelf and integrated lamp are optional. THE DESIGNER His precise yet expressive aesthetic continues to serve as a source of inspiration for contemporary designers, and his furniture designs, most created in connection with specific architectural projects, continue to excite both in Denmark and abroad. Above all else, Jacobsen viewed himself as an architect. Today, the National Bank of Denmark, the Bellavista housing estate north of Copenhagen, the Bellevue Theater north of Copenhagen and the Aarhus City Hall attest to his mastery of this realm. His extensive portfolio of functionalist buildings includes everything from small holiday homes to large projects, with everything, down to the cutlery and the door handles, bearing his personal touch. One of the best-known examples of Jacobsen's work is the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (now the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel), where he was responsible not only for the architecture, but also for all interior design elements.
