Gangso Mobler was founded in 1960 and based in Farvang Denmark as a manufacturer and supplier of household furniture. The company engaged in manufacturing office and household furniture which included tables, chairs, and cabinets for domestic and international markets. Products ranged from traditional, using precious woods etc., to modern designs using more contemporary materials. Gangso’s tile embellished furniture had been designed by notable artists including Poul H. Poulsen. In 2014, Gangso Mobler was acquired by Hammel Furniture. Today Gangsø Møbler A/S operates as a subsidiary of A/S Hammel Møbelfabrik. Poul Hermann Poulsen was a Danish designer. He worked among others designing ceramic tiles for Gangso Furniture (Gangsø Møbler) in Faarvang, Denmark. Previously, he was the proprietor of Faaborg Pottery (1976–1978) at the city square in Faaborg, Denmark, where he designed pottery. It later evolved into the design of ceramics, tiles, carvings, pictures, oil paintings, canvas paintings, drawings, and photo posters. Most widespread is his work from the time 1978-1983, where he designed ceramic tiles for Gangso Furniture (Gangsø Møbler). This teak coffee table by Gangso Mobler with ceramic tiles by Poul H. Poulsen is outstanding! We love it, surely you must too. Make it yours!! Price: $2,495 Dining Experience Extraordinaire!!! What a GORGEOUS Scandinavian Modern style dining set of 6 by Art Furn of Denmark!! We have 4 side and 2 armchairs to offer you. They are comprised of solid stunning slender rosewood frames with a classic Danish design, and they wear a lovely nubby off-white fabric upholstery which we think may have been applied at some point in their life over a black vinyl fabric under the seats and an orange and yellow tweed-like fabric on the backs. We would have loved to try to expose the original, but the backs of the chair backs have been adhered with an adhesive and we were unable to see what was underneath. They are sturdy and comfortable. They would be absolutely beautiful at your Scandinavian modern style dining table, but they have a prevalent Danish tone that will blend in beautifully with any design style. We are in LOVE with this magnificent set of six dining chairs by Art Furn…you must be too? Now, just make them yours!! Price: $5,995 Triple Terrific-ness!! This is a stunning set of three Scandinavian Modern counter stools by Gangso Mobler! The frames are comprised of gorgeous teak and the seats are covered in a wonderful linen-look/tweed fabric upholstery composed of black and cream speckles that at a distance visually create a grey tone. It’s just lovely. The back rests are a unique rounded or crescent shaped double bar design, and the legs are long, slender, and straight and connected with an x stretcher and a slender black bar for your feet. This is the perfect trio to place alongside your bar or if you have a tall pub style table, these stools will accent it nicely. They are of superior quality, in wonderful vintage condition, and constructed in a classic Scandinavian Modern design. We adore them and surely you do too…you MUST make them yours! Price: $2,695 Here is a wonderful threesome of awesome examples of trays, or a couple could be cutting boards, from the wonderful design mind of Jens Quistgaard and made exquisitely by Dansk Designs. This varied set will look magnificent displayed on your counter or in a cabinet and will certainly be beautiful on your table. Jens Harald Quistgaard was an outstanding and prolific designer. Born April 23, 1919 and raised in Copenhagen he showed his talent early creating a workshop in his mother’s kitchen. He was trained in sculpture by his father, Harald Quistgaard, but furthered his artistic education at the technical school in Copenhagen. He designed for many different companies early in his career, but his big break came when he met Martha and Ted Nierenberg the founders of Dansk Designs. Jens helped them to create Dansk and became their primary and chief designer. He remained in that position designing hundreds of items and even the Nierenberg’s home until the early 1980s when he moved to Rome. He returned to Denmark around 1992 a renowned and award- winning designer continuing to work until just prior to his death in 2008. Dansk Designs, contrary to popular belief, is an American company not Danish. Founded in 1954 by Martha and Ted Nierenberg who traveled to Europe in search of new products to bring to the U.S. post war audience who were ready for a change from the formal lives they had been living and ready to embrace a more modern and simple way. The Scandinavian Modern Designs fit that bill perfectly. And the Nierenbergs engaged Jens Harald Quistgaard to help them accomplish this task. And….that they did. It’s been said that Ted and Jens made one good industrial designer. Jens with his beautiful designs and Ted with knowing how they had to be made to be affordable. Dansk Designs was purchased in 1985 by Dansk Acquisition Corp initiated by Goldman Sachs. Then in 1991 it was purchased by Brown-Forman Corporation’s Lenox division. 2009 brought the most recent change when it was all purchased and renamed Lenox Corporation. Currently Dansk operates as a brand of Lenox and still makes beautiful wares. But it is its vintage pieces which are most sought after today. We have priced them as a set because I don’t know how you would choose just one. Make them yours! Price: $1,125 Did you already set the table for four only to find out the in- laws are coming for dinner? No worries! This gorgeous expanding teak dining table can go from serving four to eight in a matter of seconds! In the style of the iconic Dyrlund, this table is comprised of a distinctive Danish style trestle base and amazing teak oval top. There is a bit of “bubbling” on the veneer surface of the tabletop and the leaf, but we don’t think it distracts from its beauty. Just something to be expected from a vintage piece. When not in use, the integral leaf is hidden under the top surface. When you need it, simply pull the table on both ends and fold it out…very convenient. The edges of the top have a softened bullnose profile which shows off the interesting joinery. The smooth clean lines of this Scandinavian mid-century table will beautifully blend with many interior design styles from Danish Modern to modern country or a mountain rustic house, and from mid-century modern to industrial or a home with a western flair. It is perfect for a growing family or someone who loves to entertain. And chair options are limitless! You need to make it yours!! Price: $2,495 Breathtaking and Beautiful!! This incredible lighted Scandinavian mid-century modern Danish display cabinet (or you could use it as a bookcase or dry bar) is comprised of two separate pieces. We have not been able to determine a maker, but it is marked Made in Denmark and we believe in the style of Dyrlund.
