Ole Wanscher
Denmark, 1903 - 1985
Ole Wanscher (1903-1985), was born in Copenhagen in 1903 and was an architect and professor of architecture with furniture designs as his specialty. He came to shape Danish furniture, both as an active designer and as a master teacher. His furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail.
onstruction and form was of the utmost importance to Ole Wanscher, treating furniture design as if it was a branch of architecture. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and also worked for the master himself from 1924-1927, before becoming an independent achitect specializing in furniture design.
Characteristic of Ole Wanscher's design is a quest for slim dimensions and resilient forms. His chairs often employ both slender and slightly curved armrests, which rise in an elegant tip before continuing directly to the floor; as is the case with his well known Colonial Chair. Classic and yet singularly modern at the same time.
In 1908, Carl Hansen founded Carl Hansen & Son. His mission? Passionate craftsmanship. The company thrives on the belief that exceptional craftsmanship and rational serial production can coexist, offering customers high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. Today, the brand remains committed to this principle.
Seamlessly integrating traditional woodworking techniques with cutting-edge technology, Carl Hansen & Son blends the best of the past and the present with long-lasting tables, seating, shelving, and more. Faithful to its inception, all designs are a testament to its commitment to quality and timeless design.
