Among all furniture designers Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is considered one of the most creative innovative and prolific especially amongst his Scandinavian counterparts. Wegner was part of the spectacular generation that created what is today referred to as the Golden Age of modern Danish design. Wegner began his apprenticeship with Danish master cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg when he was just 14 years old. Later on he moved to Copenhagen and attended the School of Arts and Crafts from 1936 to 1938 before setting out as a furniture designer.
The core of Wegners legacy is his focus on showing the inner soul of furniture pieces through a simple and functional exterior. Wegners background as a cabinetmaker gave him a deep understanding of how to integrate exacting joinery techniques with exquisite form. His aesthetic was also based on a deep respect for wood and its characteristics and a vast curiosity about other natural materials that enabled him to bring an organic natural softness to formalistic minimalism which are on full display in this ultra functional wall unit.

Stamped March 1966 and designed by the iconic Hans Wegner this unit in near 100% original vintage condition is a true collector's piece. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
