A rare model ‘RY-26’ rosewood sideboard designed by Hans Wegner for Ry Møbler in the 1950s. This Danish Modern sideboard is constructed of rosewood in a rich, cherry hue with gorgeous graining throughout. Two sliding drawers conceal an oak interior consisting of adjustable shelves and five pull-out drawers. The minimalistic, rectangular legs extend slightly forward and are not flush with the frame, making this piece exceptionally sturdy. Denmark, 1950s.
Hans Jørgensen Wegner was a renowned Danish furniture designer who contributed to the international popularity of Mid 20th Century Danish design. His style is often described as Organic Functionality — Wegner believed that striking aesthetics in furniture were based on a foundation of practicality.
Hans Wegner received a number of awards and honors throughout his career, including the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix of the Milan Triennale in 1951, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ Eckersberg Medal in 1956, Sweden’s Prince Eugen Medal in 1961, the Danish Furniture Prize in 1980, the C. F. Hansen Medal in 1982, and the 8th International Design Award in 1997. His works have also been shown in major institutions around the world, such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Die Neue Sammlung in Munich, and Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen.
