About the Item

Sure to be coveted by seasoned collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, this unique and rare blanket chest features all of the quintessential hallmarks of Henning Kjærnulf's work. Most notable is Kjærnulf's playful juxtaposition of the old and the new: the trunk's dramatic panel moldings and hammered hardware feature Gothic-inspired cross and quatrefoil motifs, lending a sense of gravity which balances the light airiness of natural oak wood and the bold modernity of Kjærnulf's signature sculpted legs. More than just a strong example of Henning Kjærnulf's unique design vision, this chest is also uniquely suited to the needs of the modern collector. Its modest height and proportions make it ideal for apartment living and adaptable to a variety of uses. Placed in an entrance or hallway, it becomes a unique storage bench; paired with a living room suite, it makes an unforgettable coffee table. Henning Kjærnulf is among the exalted few designers to possess a voice so singular and a body of work so prolific as to be credited with the invention of an entire design style. Kjærnulf's iconic "Danish Brutalist" furniture playfully combines elements from earlier design movements - including the Arts & Crafts, Rococo, and Jacobean styles - with Modern sculpted details and a Scandinavian palette of natural blonde woods to create a look that is both entirely unique and instantly recognizable.
