Vilhelm Lauritzen, attributed (b. Slagelse 1894, d. Gentofte 1984)

Provenance: Jens Udsen, hence by descent in the family.

The “floating” effect is achieved by the console being mounted on a white painted pine wood frame with smaller dimensions than the backside of the console creating the illusion of a small void behind it. Read the full story here
