Henrik Worts Erik Worts Danish Mid-Century Modern Mahogany Table & Chairs

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.
