‘Kastrup Airport’ wall lamp by Vilhelm Lauritz

‘Kastrup Airport’ wall lamp by Vilhelm Lauritzen for Louis Poulsen.

Made of white painted aluminum with an opaline glass diffuser. Although designed as an outdoor lamp, it works equally well indoors.

The lamp was originally mounted on a villa where the lamp holder was integrated directly into the wall. It can therefore either be installed in a similar way, or a lamp holder can be fitted inside the fixture.

This particular example has developed a beautiful, authentic patina after decades of exposure to all kinds of weather. The surface shows its age and history, while the lamp remains free of damage.

Diameter 45 cm.

Four ‘Quarto’ outdoor lamps in copper, designe

Four ‘Quarto’ outdoor lamps in copper, designed by Torsten Thorup and Claus Bonderup.

Great vintage condition.

Available as a set of four.

A beautiful example of the kind of Danish furnitur

A beautiful example of the kind of Danish furniture craftsmanship that rarely gets the attention it deserves.

This sculptural dining chair was made by an unknown Danish cabinetmaker probably 1960s, combining a solid beech frame with a beautifully contrasting teak backrest and seat.

The real magic is in the seat. Rather than being simply flat, the teak has been carefully formed and shaped to follow the contours of the seated body. The result is an exceptionally comfortable and surprisingly ergonomic sitting experience. Something you immediately notice when you take a seat.

Look closer and the craftsmanship becomes even more apparent. The elegantly shaped legs, carefully curved joints, sculpted edges and beautifully worked seat all reveal the amount of time and skill that went into making a chair like this. Nothing feels unnecessary, every curve and transition has a purpose.

The designer may have remained unknown, but the quality certainly did not.

Good vintage condition.

The iconic four volumes edited by Grete Jalk, Dani

The iconic four volumes edited by Grete Jalk, Danish Furniture Design Through 40 Years (1927-1966), stand as some of the most important publications ever produced on Danish modern furniture.

Published in the post-war period, these books document four decades of exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic vision within Danish furniture design. Under Grete Jalk’s authoritative editorial direction, the volumes present a carefully curated overview of the designers, cabinetmakers, and manufacturers who shaped Denmark’s international reputation for functional, human-centered modernism.

Richly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and technical details, the books go far beyond mere visual inspiration. They offer deep insight into materials, construction methods, and design philosophy, capturing the close collaboration between designer and craftsman that defines Danish furniture at its best.

1348 pages texted in both Danish and English.
These volumes are highly valued and known as the holy grail for collectors, dealers, scholars and enthusiasts of the subject.

Four original volumes from 1987 in great condition but without the red dust jackets, which actually makes them easier to handle in everyday use.

A particularly beautiful and sought-after version

A particularly beautiful and sought-after version of Alvar Aalto’s iconic Savoy Vase, model 3031.

Designed in 1936, the vase was originally created for the Karhula-Iittala glassworks competition under the evocative name Eskimoerindens skinnbuxa, “The Eskimo Woman’s Leather Breeches”. The free-flowing, asymmetrical forms were a radical departure from the more traditional glassware of the time. The design was presented internationally at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition and later became known as the Savoy Vase, after the Savoy Restaurant in Helsinki, whose interior Aalto and his wife Aino designed.

Alvar Aalto was one of Finland’s most influential architects and designers. His work was deeply rooted in nature, human proportions and an intuitive approach to form. His architecture and furniture helped establish a distinctly Finnish interpretation of modernism. One where functionality and organic beauty could exist side by side.

This particular example is an especially refined and less commonly seen version. It is taller and has a more pronounced, flowing and irregular silhouette than many later examples, giving the vase an exceptionally elegant and sculptural character. Early Aalto vases are known for variations in proportion and form, partly reflecting their mouth-blown production.

Dimensions: H20 × W21 cm.

It is in perfect condition, with no scratches from use and no chips to the rim.

SOLD

Cowhorn chair by Danish furniture designer Knud Færch, produced by Slagelse Møbelværk.

Færch had a particular fascination with chairs, regarding them almost as sculptures. Furniture that could define an entire room while still offering the highest level of comfort. His designs are deeply rooted in his respect for wood and its natural, living qualities, resulting in sculptural forms that remain unmistakably Danish.

His passion for wood began early in life, spending time with his father in his cabinetmaking workshop and furniture shop. He later studied interior design, where a formative meeting with Finn Juhl, who taught furniture drawing, helped inspire Færch’s own career as a furniture designer during the 1950s and 60s.

The Cowhorn Chair is perhaps his most internationally recognized design. Its characteristic, organic form beautifully demonstrates Færch’s close relationship with wood. Transforming the material into a piece that feels almost carved rather than constructed.

This model features a teak backrest and an oak frame, beautifully highlighting the contrast between the two woods.
The chair is upholstered in light grey wool, creating a subtle and elegant contrast with the warm wooden frame.
