Poul Hundevad
Poul Hundevad was a master craftsman who designed and built furniture in his hometown of Vamdrup, Denmark. He is famed for his adaptable, functionalist creations. Multi-purpose design had become a standard in the Scandinavian modern furniture of the mid-20th century, and Hundevad imbued this approach into many of his creations, such as incorporating fold-down trays into his credenzas and sideboards.
Hundevad was born in Vamdrup in 1917. He trained as a carpenter and for many years, he owned his own workshop and furniture factory. He designed and constructed his own furniture as well as pieces that were manufactured by other designers. He worked alongside such notable furniture creators as Carlo Jensen and Kaj Winding.
Hundevard put a premium on space — the homes of mid-20th-century Denmark were not very big and usually consisted of small rooms with little storage — and so he created many foldable designs that could be stowed easily and kept out of the way when they were not needed.
His fame grew in 1960 when Hundevad introduced the Guldhoj stool. He created it as a replica of a Bronze Age stool excavated from a burial mound near his hometown, keeping the original form and dimensions exact. The Guldhoj is a simple stool, made of teak, oak, beech or ash. It folds out in an X configuration and has an uncomplicated leather seat. It was produced through the early 21st century, the later iterations being reproductions made by one of Hundevard’s employees. Though Hundevard masterfully crafted many inventive and functional designs, he is most remembered for the minimal genius of this mid-century modern folding stool.

- Pair of Danish Modern Rosewood Wall Sconces by Vitrika circa 1970sLocated in Shippensburg, PAPAIR OF DANISH MODERN ROSEWOOD AND FROSTED-GLASS WALL SCONCES Designed by Vitrika, Denmark circa 1970s Item # 311VNK02P-2 A perfect representation of the elegance of Danish design, this sleek pair of sculpted rosewood wall sconces were designed by the Danish lighting firm Vitrika in the 1970s. They are not labeled, but we acquired two pairs of these and one retained its original label (and may still be available in our inventory; contact us or browse our inventory if a second pair interests you). Each sconce features a distinctive bulbous glass shade with a serrated top, the opaque glass allowing light to diffuse warmly throughout a room. They are constructed from solid rosewood, not simply veneers, each with a vibrant chaotic grain and natural finish. The sconce extends from the tapered, angular backing on a reeded brass post with a conveniently located light switch just below for easy access. These sconces are best displayed with a hardwire installation. However, they currently come with plugs, allowing for immediate use before having them professionally installed. Measurements: 10" H x 4 3/8" D x 3" W (bulb) Condition Report: Good condition, the wiring is untested - ideal for a hardwire installation. About silla...Category
