Ole Wanscher

Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) was an integral part of the core aesthetics and functionality of modern Danish design. He studied with Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and then worked in Klint's design studio before becoming a freelance furniture designer. He helped shape Danish furniture design both as a designer and as an educator when he took over Klint's professorship at the Academy.

 

Wanscher's classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: "Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and it will be so even several hundred years from now, because that's how long they last." Today, his modern classics are still revered for their attention to detail and profound respect for materials.
