Johannes Hansen Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets

Danish master cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen is best known for a celebrated partnership with legendary Scandinavian modernist designer Hans Wegner that lasted half a century. The sophisticated and sculptural chairs, tables and cabinets that Wegner designed and Hansen built earned Wegner worldwide acclaim, and brought meaningful business opportunities to Hansen and his modest workshop.

Hansen was born in 1886 and apprenticed as a cabinetmaker in his early years, opening a workshop and showroom in Copenhagen. In 1927, he helped establish the annual Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition. Later, at the age of 55, Hansen began working with Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner, then only 26. With Wegner creating and Hansen executing on his partner’s complex designs, they developed furniture to sell in Hansen's showroom. A business relationship of this type was common in 20th-century Danish furniture making, and Hansen and Wegner enjoyed a prolific and renowned collaboration.

Wegner’s career began in cabinetry before he transitioned to furniture design in the 1940s. He is among the most celebrated figures for collectors of mid-century modern and Scandinavian works of the era. One of the first well-known entries for the Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibitions authored by Wegner and built by Hansen was the 1942 Lattice chair, a red Cuban mahogany dining room chair with an upholstered leather seat. The Peacock chair, an iconic design that followed in 1947, was the pair's take on a traditional English Windsor chair. It featured flattened spindles along the back resembling the feathers of a peacock tail — it wasn’t exactly an emblem of the pared-back functionality prioritized by Kaare Klint, Wegner’s former instructor at Copenhagen’s Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Wegner would go on to design nearly 500 chairs over the course of his life — among them are the Wishbone chair, the Papa Bear chair and the Round chair. The latter, which is often simply called “The Chair,” was manufactured by Hansen and made its debut at the Guild Exhibition in 1949. It was declared “the most beautiful chair in the world” by Interiors magazine a year later, and a pair of the iconic seats appeared on the first nationally televised presidential debate in the United States in 1960.

After Hansen died in 1961, his son, Poul Hansen, took over the business and continued working with Wegner. The company closed in the 1990s, but today, Hansen and Wegner's collaborative legacy endures in collections around the world.

Lighted Danish Rosewood Glass Door Hutch Cabinet Bookcase with Carved Pulls
By Erik Brouer, Bernhard Pedersen & Son, Arne Vodder, Poul Hundevad
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Envision an heirloom of Scandinavian grace—a luminous display cabinet that seamlessly transforms function into art. Crafted in Denmark in the 1970s by Bernhard Pedersen & Son, this distinguished piece embodies the distilled essence of Danish Modern design: elegant proportions, richly grained rosewood, and seamless craftsmanship. Set into the facade are glass-fronted doors, their smooth surfaces accented by sculptural, solid rosewood carved pulls—each curve carefully echoed in the subtly contoured banding that frames the cabinet. Open the doors to discover a spacious, mirrored interior, thoughtfully illuminated from within and outfitted with adjustable or removable glass shelves—ideal for curated display of china, glassware, or cherished volumes. The cabinet stands on graciously tapered, turned wood legs—restored and deliberately toned to a slightly darker hue, adding depth and visual contrast to the rosewood body. Threaded metal insert nuts ensure that the legs attach securely and elegantly, merging integrity with finesse. This is design rooted in the highest aspirations. The construction features tight joinery and choice materials, evident even in the gentle patina that only decades of stewardship can bestow. The cabinet measures a stately 64.5 inches in width, 16 inches in depth, and 49 inches in height—proportions that make it a commanding presence in living rooms, libraries, or refined dining spaces. Comparable lighting-topped rosewood cabinets in exceptional condition currently exchange in the realm of $3,300, confirming the enduring demand for this rare blend of craftsmanship and elegant functionality . Meanwhile, references across peer platforms affirm the unique stature of pieces by this Danish maker, particularly when illuminated internally and retaining original rosewood tone and build integrity  More than a piece of furniture, this cabinet is a statement—a timeless emblem of Scandinavian modernity that radiates sophistication by day and glows with understated elegance each evening. For collectors and connoisseurs of mid-century design, it offers a rare opportunity to own something that is both functional and timelessly refinished—a silent ambassador of refined taste and enduring design excellence. Illuminated from the interior, this Scandinavian display cabinet...
