    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.

  • Hotel Alexandra Article

    Hotel Alexandra Article

    M A R C H 2 0 1 9 | T R A V E L TANGERINE DREAM A N D R E A B L A C K This hotel is a modernist haven dedicated to the greatest Danish designers of the mid-20th century. In hindsight, booking to stay in the boldly coloured Verner Panton Suite directly after a long-haul flight from Sydney wasn’t such a good idea. Open the door to this corner suite at Hotel Alexandra in Copenhagen and arresting hot pink walls in the entry hall lead to a bright tangerine- coloured living room coated in plastic paint and filled with 1960s Panton pieces, including the Pantonova sofa (in orange) and two Panton 1-2-3 chairs (more orange). The bedroom is a luminous burst of purple, with swirly shagpile rugs and a quilt stamped with Panton’s signature circle print. It all makes for a psychedelic experience. Fumbling for the bathroom in the middle of the night in my jet-lagged state results in further panic. The Verner Panton Suite is one of 61 guestrooms in this modernist haven dedicated to the greatest Danish designers of the mid-20th century. General manager Jeppe Mühlhausen began collecting Danish modern furniture in 2001, focusing on the kind of pieces usually only on view in design museums or expensive auction house catalogues. The next morning, as soft summer light streams in, it’s easier to appreciate the Danish designer’s immersive charms. Sitting on a Panton S Chair surveying the bedroom, I understand the designer’s theory that “one sits more comfortably on a colour one likes”.

His furniture is classical and thoroughly modern at the same ti me. Today Wanscher’s works are sought-aft er collectors’ all over the world. In the 1920s Wanscher was associated with the School of De- sign at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Kunstakade- miets Møbelskole) under Kaare Klint and designed his furni- ture with inspirati on from English and oriental models.

  • Scandi Navian Design Catalog

    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.
