Ole Wanscher

Ole Wanscher, a celebrated pioneer of Danish modern furniture, is renowned for his timeless designs that seamlessly blend elegance and functionality. Embracing the core principles of modern Danish design, Wanscher played an integral role in reshaping the aesthetic and functionality of furniture during the late 1940s through the early ‘60s. His formative years were spent under the tutelage of the eminent Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, followed by a tenure at Klint's design studio, before venturing into an illustrious career as an independent furniture designer. Not only did Wanscher leave an indelible mark as a designer, but he also significantly influenced Danish furniture design through his role as an educator.

Wanscher's craftsmanship and dedication to handcrafted wood furniture are evident in every meticulously curated piece, leaving an enduring legacy in the design world. His masterpieces for Carl Hansen & Son have now found a new home at DShop.

The OW150 Daybed—the epitome of comfort and style—reflects Wanscher's commitment to creating inviting yet sophisticated spaces. Complementing this, the OW2000 Egyptian Stool showcases his ingenuity in seamlessly fusing traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Moreover, the OW58 T-Chair, with its clean lines and ergonomic design, embodies the essence of Wanscher's approach to modern wood dining chairs.
