This elegant Ph23/2 bar cart was designed by Danish designer Poul Hundevad during the 1960s. It was finished in high-quality rosewood, prized for its durability and decorative grain. The wood's dark, warm tones are accentuated by a natural finish, revealing the richness of its texture. The structure consists of three tiers. The upper tabletop can be adjusted to accommodate taller bottles, for example. It is also possible to connect two tables at the top to create a larger tabletop surface. The lower two are ideal for storing bar glasses. Brass casters make the table easy to move. The slender, turned legs and lightweight design are an expression of the "form follows function" philosophy typical of Danish modernism. The furniture combines functionality with the timeless aesthetic of Mid-Century Modern, characteristic of the Scandinavian school of design.
Poul Hundevad was a Danish designer who enjoyed combining ancient traditions with modernity. Like other mid-century designers, he drew inspiration from the past, drawing not only on a long tradition of exceptional carpentry but also on designs from other eras. For Hundevad, it was an object from the very distant past that contributed to his greatest success. In 1960, he began production of his most famous work, the Guldhøj chair. The design was a copy of a folding chair found in a barrow in Vamdrup, dating back to the Scandinavian Bronze Age. It was the oldest surviving piece of furniture in Scandinavia. Hundevad measured the original chair, refined the design, and put it into production, using four different types of wood and leather seats in light and dark shades. The chair was an immediate success and was sold worldwide. Hundevad's name became the epitome of Danish design. He looked to the past, remaining faithful to traditional craftsmanship and techniques, while simultaneously creating modern pieces.
The table is in original vintage condition. One wheel is slightly damaged, but this does not affect its mobility. There is a slight glue mark on the leg. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
