Intrigued and inspired by classic furniture, Wanscher
studied it wherever he went, incorporating the styles and
elements he felt best merged functionality and aesthetics
into his own work.
The clean, classic 1949 daybed features a single long
cushion that appears to float above an angular, solid oak
frame, but is in fact supported by a delicate yet strong
cotton webbing. Hand-sewn buttons create a simple square
pattern that accentuates the daybed’s geometric form,
while an optional bolster pillow enhances user comfort.
In Wanscher’s Egyptian Stool, we see the influence of
his travel outside of Denmark. While in Egypt, Wanscher
became fascinated with old seats of power, and in 1957
designed the elegant, lightweight Egyptian Stool with
Temple of Thebes furniture in mind.
The design eloquently nods to his source of inspiration,
yet is distinctly modern in its expression and construction.
The seat, crafted from saddle leather, easily collapses
into the chair when folded.
