THE
LEGENDS
In the 1950s Jens Lauritz Skovgaard Jensen from the factory in Ringkobing established a working relationship with the designers and architects Arne Wahl Iversen, Erik Buck & Johannes Andersen. Four Factories: Ørum, Ringkobing, Hornslet and Nykobing Falster.
ARNE WAHL
IVERSEN
He grew up in his fathers’ furniture store and from a young age showed a talent for design. Arne took education as furniture craftsman in Odense and then moved to Copenhagen where he attended the Kunstakademiet (art academy) from 1949-1951 in the school of furniture art lead by Mr. Kaare Klint.
ERIK
BUCK
His designs carried the form, of what is called "The Modern Scandinavian Style". Like many of the well known contemporary Danish designers, Buck’s trademarks was “organic, functional and aesthetic” furniture made by master craftsmen in Danish oak and birch but also even more exotic materials like Teak and Palisander.
JOHANNES
ANDERSEN
The gentleman designer. Andersen was born in Aarhus, Denmark in 1903. He apprenticed as a cabinet maker, becoming certified in 1922. By the mid-1930s, when Danish modern design rose in popularity beyond Denmark, he opened his own workshop. He continued to work with other design houses as well, including Bernh, Pedersen & Son in Denmark, and Trensum in Sweden.
Scandinavian furniture was known for its distinctive shapes, flowing contours, and is “restrained chic.” Andersen certainly followed this aesthetic in his designs.
Looking at his work, it is also easy to see the influences of the culture and environment that surrounded him. The hallmarks of the Scandinavian ethos are present but interpreted in a way that is Andersen’s alone.
