Great Danish teak chest of drawers in very good used condition. Measurements follow, width estimated just under 1 metre. Price CHF 940
Arne Hovmand-Olsen was born in 1919 in Denmark into a farming family. He quickly developed an interest in drawing and design. He began his career in 1938 with an apprenticeship as a furniture maker. He was determined to make his own creation. He decided to study at a technical school for furniture design. After completing his training, he set up his own workshop. He quickly had great success: he sold in Denmark, but mainly in the United States! His workshop was closed in the 1970s.

7 Norev / 8 Micro Norev France – vintage
This section of the collection is particularly close to my heart. As a plastics engineer, I have a particular fondness for early plastics products, when plastic was commonly still called plastic. In the case of early plastic products, shrinkage and warp was often a problem, especially whith age, because they had still too little experience to prevent warp with measures such as ribbed areas within the part. This collection is of high quality, the plastic is not bleached and the distortion is minimal. The original boxes add a big plus to that collection.
Prices are negotiable, especially in the case of multiple purchases. Since those are not my cars, in a limited frame.
