This mirror is from the famed “Hallmöbel” (Hall furniture) series by Danish designer Kai Kristiansen. With an overall look and details that represent mid-century Danish Modernism, this “No. 146” mirror is rooted in tradition. As it can be expected from Kai Kristiansen, this mirror reflects the Danish traditions of timelessness and quality. This sizeable model follows the understated yet well-though out design principles of Kristiansen with simple lines and visible joinery. The rectangular frame and the beautiful wood grain provide simple elegance, making this mirror perfect to bring some understated modernism to any space. The mirror is numbered with ‘146’ as well as with the manufacturer’s stamp. Aksel Kjersgaard has been well known for their continuing manufacturing of modern furniture designed by leading Danish architects in the best carpentry design. The furniture factory was founded in 1952 by master carpenter Aksel Kjersgaard and in 1955, the production of entrance furniture and small furniture began. In the case of this pair, the wood was selected with great care and consideration and was sorted so that colour and structure match together in the individual pieces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some marks and scratches on the wood. Dimensions: 21.85 in W x 1.18 in D x 40.94 in H 55.5 cm W x 3 cm D x 104 cm H About the designer: Designer Kai Kristiansen was born in 1929 in Denmark. He apprenticed in cabinetmaking before he in 1948 enrolled in the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under the highly influential designer Kaare Klint. At the age of only 26, Kristiansen opened his own studio and began to create furniture in what would soon become known as the Danish modern style. His designs would be produced by well-known Danish manufacturers, such as Feldballes Møbelfabrik, Fornem Møbelkunst, Fritz Hansen, Vildbjerg Møbelfabrik and Magnus Olesen. Best known for his smooth and geometric Mid-Century Modern cabinets, tables, and dining chairs. Working in oak, teak, and rosewood, the designer produced popular, pioneering pieces including the cabinets, chairs and diverse furniture for halls. The designer opened his own office in Copenhagen in 1955, a space he shared with his contemporary Illum Wikkelsø in the 1970s. Thanks to the FM system...
