- Lot Description
Ole Wanscher (Danish, 1903-1985) for CADO Model 166 Sofa, Denmark, c. 1960, walnut frame with oatmeal cushions, with manufacturer's label, ht. 31, seat ht. 18, wd. 71, dp. 31 in.
Note: Ole Wanscher was integral to the core aesthetic and functionality of modern Danish design. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later worked at Klint's design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. He helped shape Danish furniture design as a designer and as an educator when he took over Klint's professorship at the Academy.
Wanscher created his best-known designs primarily between the late 1940s and early 1960s, in the post-war era when the 'design for everyone' philosophy emerged. In Denmark, some of design's biggest names created functional and affordable furniture for the Danish people and the small spaces they lived in. Wanscher took great interest in industrially produced yet high-quality furniture, designing several successful pieces.
Wanscher's design earned him numerous accolades, including the Copenhagen Carpenters' Guild Annual Award and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960ûhonors that underscored Wanscher's esteemed reputation both in Denmark and internationally. (carlhansen.com)Condition
