Pair of 1960s Danish Modern Indoor planters in Oak, design by Axel Kjersgaard

About the Item

Presenting a captivating piece of Danish craftsmanship from the 1960s—a rare pair of indoor planters or jardinieres skillfully crafted by the renowned cabinetmaker Axel Kjersgaard. Crafted from oak, a traditional and durable hardwood, these planters embody the Scandinavian preference for natural materials. The choice of oak not only provides strength and longevity but also adds warmth to the overall aesthetic. The original zinc trays further enhance the functionality of the planters protecting the wood from moisture. One of the defining features of these indoor planters is their geometrically shaped legs in oak. The clean lines and precise angles reflect the influence of Danish modern design. The geometric form not only adds visual interest but also complements the organic nature of the plants that would inhabit these jardinieres. To truly appreciate these indoor planters, it is essential to consider the cultural and historical context of the 1960s. This period marked a transformative era for Danish design, with designers like Axel Kjersgaard at the forefront of the movement. The emphasis on functionalism, minimalism, and the celebration of natural materials defined the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, making these planters not just functional objects but also cultural artifacts.
