Their lives and work represented the nation's defining social movements, the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information and the global expansion of American culture. They embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. Known for many iconic chairs, which remain in production to this day as a testament to their classic design style, functionality and comfort.

From the 1960s, she did much to enhance Denmark’s reputation for modern furniture design with her clear, comfortable lines. She also edited the Danish magazine Mobilia and compiled a four-volume work on Danish furniture. In 1953, Jalk opened her own design studio. Inspired by Alvar Aalto’s laminated bent-plywood furniture and Charles Eames’ moulded plywood designs, she began to develop her own boldly curved models. Jalk developed many simple sets of furniture for manufacturers, including a high desk and stool, a set of shelves in Oregon pine and a series of chairs with upholstered seats and backs on a curved steel base. Her industrially produced furniture has clear, comfortable lines. Economic in their use of materials, they soon became competitive, increasing Denmark’s international reputation for furniture design. Firms in the United States and Finland have also manufactured some of her lines.

Employed by Louis Poulsen in 1924 he developed a three shade lamp known simply as the PH lamp. This hanging lamp, still in production today was joined by table, floor and wall lamps, with the PH lamp becoming a household name and to this day remaining one of the finest incandescent lamps. At his death in 1967 Poul had designed more than 100 lamps including the classic PH5. See lot numbers 15, 16, 17, 48, 49, 50 and 121.

It was with the latter that he designed the award winning Hamilton range of furniture.

  • 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.

  • The Midcentury As Muse a NEW SANTA MONICA HOME LOOKS AS IF IT SPRANG from DECADES PAST, DOWN to SOME CLEVERLY RESURRECTED MODERNIST FURNITURE by ANN HEROLD
    Shop LA HOME The Midcentury As Muse A NEW SANTA MONICA HOME LOOKS AS IF IT SPRANG FROM DECADES PAST, DOWN TO SOME CLEVERLY RESURRECTED MODERNIST FURNITURE BY ANN HEROLD WNERS OF MIDCENTURY modern homes tend to be acolytes of—or at least familiar with—the works of such L.A. icons as Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Pierre Koenig. For Eline Hissink, the names didn’t register a blip. But she knew what she O wanted for the house she and her husband, Scott Yasharian, were building in Santa Monica: simplicity, function- ality, durability, and most of all, an absence of clutter. That checklist, she discovered, perfectly defined midcentury modern architecture. Culver City-based architects Brett Woods and Joseph Dangaran helped the Dutch-born Hissink realize the thrill of flinging open floor-length glass doors to the earth and sky. Along with other mod- ernist touches, the cactus garden was extended into the house, which was completed in 2015, and an opening was left in the patio overhang for the sun to shine through. The challenge for Hissink was to furnish the house in the spirit of its roots, and she found herself drawn to Danish midcentury decor. The chairs of Finn Juhl and Hans Wegner. Lights by Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, and Poul Henningsen. Chairs, desks, and pendant lights by the team of Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, who became an obsession.

  • Face Time Crosslines
    NOVEMBER 2020 face time CROSSlines woven in time Celebrating 65 years at the loom, textile icon Hanne Vedel has secured a place in Danish design history Even a pandemic can’t slow down this 87-year-old. In early September, weaving artist Hanne Vedel was a star presence at Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design fair, one of the first industry events to go live—IRL— since COVID-19 hit. Her one-of-a-kind rugs were exhibited at a pop-up show mounted by Kjellerup Væveri, the mill that produces Vedel’s minimalist upholstery fabrics (including those covering the Finn Juhl chairs at the U.N. Trusteeship Council Chambers in New York). Not to mention the octogenarian still works the loom daily as creative chief of Spindegården, the studio founded by famed weaver Paula Trock in 1948 and helmed by Vedel since 1970. Over the decades, Vedel has main- tained the atelier’s celebrated legacy of handcraftsmanship and cemented its commercial success via industrially pro- duced textile collections. Along the way, she’s collaborated with some of the most prominent modernist luminaries—Juhl, plus Grete Jalk and Hans J. Wegner—and today counts the Danish royal family and clergy members among her devoted clientele. Vedel’s signature style stands the test of time: solids and stripes rendered in a bold, happy palette grounded by muted tones and skillfully constructed of wool, cotton, or silk. Renewed interest in mid- century Danish design and sustainable production methods have boosted demand for—and shed a global spotlight on—her oeuvre. We caught up with Vedel, who is based in the southern town of Aabenraa, to hear how she got her start—and where she’s headed next.

  • 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.
