About the Item

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY Rare Mid-Century Modern dining table and eight dining chairs with black leather seats by Erik Worts for Henrik Worts Mobelsnedkeri, Denmark. A beautiful hand-crafted arrangement that is stunning with beautiful clean lines. This set is in excellent condition. Erik Worts designed furniture and his brother, Henrik, sold it under the manufacturer name of Henrik Worts Mobelsnedkeri, Denmark. Erik was a little known Danish designer born in 1916 and died in 1997. He was a prolific and talented designer whose first designs appear in the late 1930s. His most famous design is a Safari chair which was produced in quite large numbers. The Furniture Design Index on the Danish Design Museum website lists a large number of designs illustrated. Many of these designs were for Henrik Worts Mobelsnedkeri which translates as Cabinet Maker. This presumably was a small family business making one-off pieces or in very small quantities. Later on in the 1950s and 1960s Erik designed for the well-known Danish sofa and chair manufacturer of Eilersen and the small quality firm of Kjellerup Mobelfabrik. Some designers like Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen and Ib Kofod Larsen were true geniuses and good at getting their name in magazines receiving publicity whilst others like Erik Worts preferred to stay in the background. The talented Danish designers such as Kurt Ostervig, Poul Volther and Illum Wikkelso amongst others also deserve to be better known.

"Wassily" Club Chairs B3 Designed by Marcel Breuer Set of Two Chrome & Leather
By Marcel Breuer
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
Wassily Club Chair by Marcel Breuer designed in 1925 - 26 for Knoll also known as the Model B3 chair. Breuer designed this chair while he was the head of the cabinet-making workshop at the Bauhaus, in Dessau, Germany. These chairs are in excellent condition and as strong and beautiful as when they were first created. Inspired by the frame of a bicycle and influenced by the constructivist theories of the De Stjil movement, Marcel Breuer was still an apprentice at the Bauhaus when he reduced the classic club chair to its elemental lines and planes, forever changing the course of furniture design. His revolutionary Wassily chair marries durable leather with the industrial-age aesthetic of cantilevered tubular steel. Functional, simple and distinctly modern. Protégé of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer embodied many of the School's distinctive concepts and was and one of the School's most famous students. He returned to teach carpentry from 1925-1928, during which he designed the tubular-steel furniture collection. His attention drifted towards architecture, and after practicing...
