About Shak Gallery

My Swedish/French husband and I have been collectors for many years. Now based in Brussels, Belgium, we'd like to present with this gallery, a few of our favorite midcentury furniture items. Our name is a mix of our last names sheridan/åkesson. Our focus at first is Scandinavian Modern and the Swedish Grace period. Later this year a focus will be on Japanese Modernism, Women designers of the 20th century, Mexican design of the 20th century and finally a selection of Contemporary design.

Danish Modern Borge Morgensen Shaker series Model 5267 Oak Coffee table
By Børge Mogensen
Located in Uccle, BE
Shaker table model 5267 for Danish Furniture makers in Fredericia, Denmark. Among the great mid-20th century Danish furniture designers, Børge Mogensen distinguished himself with his faith to traditional values of craftsmanship and honesty of materials. While peers such as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen designed some of the most striking and now iconic furnishings of the era, Mogensen focused on making pieces that were simple, durable and comfortable — and in the long run perhaps more useful and better loved. Mogensen studied under and later worked for Kaare Klint, a master cabinetmaker whose chief tenets were quality of construction and simplicity of line. Klint was a classicist, who believed that furniture forms should evolve from those of historical models. So, too, in his way was Mogensen, as two of his best-known earlier pieces attest. His 1945 Spokeback Sofa, with hinged arms that can be lowered to facilitate lounging, is a reinterpretation of the venerable Knole settee. With the oval silhouette of its plywood backrest and waterdrop-shaped cutouts, Mogenson’s Shell chair, designed in 1949, can be seen as a novel take on early 19th century Empire side chairs. Yet Mogensen shared the aesthetical sensibilities of his most forward-looking colleagues. His cabinets deploy the same spare geometries and lushly figured woods as those of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and his disciple Florence Knoll, the chief difference being that Mies and Knoll used...
