Wastebaskets with French cane, designed in the 1950s, likely by Frits Henningsen

About the Item

These two wastebaskets are made of beech wood with French cane weaving and were designed in Denmark in the 1950s. Their simple yet elegant form combines the natural warmth of the beech wood with the airy look of the woven pattern. The design is assumed to be by Frits Henningsen, known for his focus on craftsmanship and creating timeless, functional furniture with a classic expression. The aesthetics of the wastebaskets reflect the Scandinavian design tradition, where form and function go hand in hand, making them fine examples of mid-20th century Danish furniture craftsmanship.
