1958 Danish Teak Hutch Bar Credenza by Hans Wegner for Ry Møbler
About the Item
Born on April 22nd in 1958, this free-standing wall-unit / hutch is truly an architectural masterpiece. The entire construction can be easily broken down and assembled without any hardware. The top and bottom cabinets lock and slide into the support panels like puzzle pieces. Designed by Hans J. Wegner for Ry Møbler, this Scandinavian marvel is not only the pinnacle of versatility, but a stunning work of natural art. Look close and you can see how the maker used an assortment of teak wood species to create contrasting tones and patterns throughout. The drawers, doors, cases and support panels each have their own personality. The dark, tawny rosewood pulls on the drawers are yet another demonstration of this discipline.
This RY-20 model is a storage and function powerhouse. It’s essentially a dry-bar, china cabinet, room divider, and credenza all in one. The one-piece unit has two tiers. The upper portion sports two, large, birch-lined interior spaces with adjustable / removable shelves. These upper cabinet spaces are concealed by cathedral-grained sliding doors with recessed circular pulls. The bottom portion of the cabinet features six, fiery grained drawers with dark tawny wood pulls. The top right drawer still has it's original, green felt lining.
Restoration:
All surfaces have been professionally refinished (even the top of upper unit) by our in-house cabinet shop. Bottom cabinet has a few ghost scratches that could not be fully removed (see pics) Repaired corner chip on right-side sliding door. Only minor imperfections remain

Hans J. Wegner
Best known for his chairs and other seating pieces — though a master of many furniture types like sofas and tables — Hans Wegner was a prolific designer whose elegant, often ebullient, forms and devotion to the finest methods in joinery made "Danish Modern" a popular byword for stylish, well-made furniture in the mid-20th century.
Wegner considered himself a carpenter first and a furniture designer second. Like his peers Arne Jacobsen and Finn Juhl, Wegner believed that striking aesthetics in furniture were based on a foundation of practicality: a chair must be comfortable and sturdy before it is chic.
In keeping with that tenet, several of Hans Wegner’s best chair designs have their roots in traditional seating forms. The Peacock chair (designed in 1947) is a throne-like adaptation of the Windsor chair; pieces from the China chair series (begun in 1944) as well as the 1949 Wishbone chair, with its distinctive Y-shaped back splat, are derived from 17th-century Ming seating pieces, as is the upholstered Ox chair (1960). Wegner’s comfy Papa Bear chair (1951) is an almost surreally re-scaled English wingback chair.
Wegner’s most representative piece, the Round chair (1949), gained a footnote in political history when it was used on the TV stage of the first Kennedy-Nixon debate of 1960. That chair, along with Wegner’s more bravura designs — for example, the 1963 Shell chair, with its curved surfboard-shaped seat — bring a quietly sculptural presence to a room.
Wegner was a designer who revered his primary material — wood — and it shows. His wood gathers patina and character with age; every Hans Wegner piece testifies to the life it has led.
