Prototype of a Mogens Lassen stool in lacquered metal, Denmark 1930’s

About the Item

Rare Prototype of a Mogens Lassen tractor seat stool in black lacquered metal made in Denmark in the 1930’s. The stool is a prototype of the tractor seat stool that can be seen used in the garden of Mogens Lassens own home, the stool from Mogens Lassen’s home was also presented at the memorial exhibition for Mogens Lassen at the Aarhus Kunsthal in the 1980’s. The last picture is a picture of the stool used in the garden of Mogens Lassen’s home. Mogens Lassen was a important part in the modernist movement of Danish architecture together with his brother Flemming Lassen and many other Danish architects like Arne Jacobsen who also was a friend of the brothers, they had all gone to the same primary school. Mogens Lassen in his time would also work together with other architects like Vilhelm Lauritzen and he also worked at the Danish cabinetmaker company Fritz Hansen at the same time as other big architects like Frits Schlegel, Magnus Stephensen, Kaj Gottlob and Kaare Klint. The stool is in good solid condition with heavy wear and signs of use but nothing that effects the stools construction in any at all. This stool is the perfect piece for anyone who wants to start a good collection or even for a museum.

Ernst Voss Floor Lamp, Denmark 1930’s
By Voss Belysning
Located in Valby, 84
Rare floor lamp by the Danish manufacturer Voss Belysning, the lamp is manufactured and desigend in the 1930’s, the lamp is a great of how the Danes had their own interpretation of Art Deco and in a way created their on more modernist style of Art Deco. Ernst Voss and Voss Belysning where in their time a very important part of Danish design history and were on level with designers and manufacturers like Louis Poulsen, Poul Henningsen, Lyfa and Fog Mørup, sadly they have over the years been forgotten which is very hard to understand when you see the quality of their designs. Ernst Voss was both an army man and metal worker and in many ways a very important part of the history of the town Fredericia where he lived. Ernst Voss should be known as the epitome of a determined and principled individual with an indomitable drive. This applies to his work as a military man, business owner, city council member, and private person. His contributions to and work for Fredericia can hardly be overstated. Ernst Voss was born on November 17, 1826, in Aalborg and died at the age of 77 on December 8, 1903, after a long and exceptionally eventful life. Ernst Voss came from a distinguished old Pomeranian and Mecklenburg noble family. His father, Gustav Wilhelm Heinrich von Voss, was a major in Aalborg, so the military was not unfamiliar to Ernst Voss when he later chose to follow in his father’s footsteps. In his early years, however, Ernst Voss attended a Latin school and subsequently learned about agriculture. At the age of 19, he took over the farm Jomfrubakken near Mariager. The farm and agriculture became a quickly concluded chapter for Ernst Voss. In the spring of 1848, the First Schleswig War – the Three Years’ War – became a reality, and Voss enlisted at the age of 21. This would mark the beginning of a long, unbroken military career that only ended when he retired from the army at 52 in 1878. During the Three Years’ War, Ernst Voss first demonstrated his exceptional character. He participated in one of the early major battles at Schleswig on Easter morning, April 23, 1848, where he was in close combat with the enemy. He, along with over 200 Danish soldiers...
