4 Scandinavian Modern Rosewood Cabinets by Rud Thygesen & Johnny Sorensen for HG
About the Item
Handsome Mid Century Scandinavian Modern cabinets by Rud Thygesen & Johnny Sorensen for Hansen & Guldborg (a.k.a. HG,). These cabinets are comprised of rosewood with square steel tube legs, a set of 4. They also have a hanging mechanism on the back of each cabinet for hanging on a wall unit. The legs may have been added after the fact by someone or they could have been an original option. We have been unable to determine this for sure. The cabinets designer and maker have been attributed based upon the Danish makers mark inside the drawers; archived research including online sources; vintage documentation and catalogs; designer literature; and other materials. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. We have repaired all nicks & dings as feasible. Each cabinet has some age-related marks but looks great. The 5-drawer cabinet does have some deep scratches on the top along with a dark mark and other small flaws. Please see all photos and zoom in for details as they are part of the condition description. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960’s.
WOW!! Not one, not two, not even three… but FOUR fantastic vintage cabinets!! But they’re not just ANY cabinets… Not even close! This is a set for four phenomenal Mid Century Scandinavian Modern Rud Thygesen & Johnny Sorensen for Hansen & Guldborg (also known as HG,) cabinets comprised of rosewood frames. Two cabinets have four equal sized drawers per cabinet featuring fabulous, recessed half-moon rosewood finger pulls, and striking square steel tube legs… which you could remove if you prefer to add them to your existing wall unit. One has five drawers consisting of two shallow equal size top drawers lined with green felt for storing your silver, and three equal sized deeper drawers below. The fourth cabinet has 10, count them 10, equal sized side by side drawers – WOW! Just think of their uses! They would make wonderful individual credenzas, nightstands, or end table cabinets. All four together in your dining area would be incredible, not to mention the ample storage they would provide! Or split them up and place two in one room and two on either side of your fireplace. These marvelous cabinets exhibit versatility and functionality with an exquisite quintessential Scandinavian Modern style plus the extraordinary look of their gorgeous rosewood veneers! They are wonderful in their simplicity!!
Thygesen and Sorensen were instrumental in contributing to the Golden Age of Danish Design in the 1950’s and 1960’s. When they designed a Birthday gift for Danish King Frederick IX it launched a new era in their lives. They resisted general trends and stuck to their desires to be independent designers and their exclusive furnishings and collections attracted much attention. A highlight of their career together was their design in the 1980s for Café Victor, a hip hangout in downtown Copenhagen. In addition, the two furniture designers exhibited annually at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Autumn Exhibition. However, after almost thirty years of collaboration, in 1995 they decided to end a successful partnership to pursue individual careers.
Hansen & Guldborg (also known as H.G.) is a Danish furniture manufacturer of Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian design.
This set of four phenomenal rosewood cabinets are by an iconic design team and manufacturer, they’re timeless… they’re classic… and they NEED to be YOURS!!!
