Klint's time capsule

It was like opening a time capsule when one of Bruun Rasmussen's experts visited a home filled with beautiful wood furniture by the Danish architect Kaare Klint who more than anyone ranks as the father of Danish furniture. He wanted to unite functionalism with time-honoured craftsmanship. Through his efforts as originator and director of the newly established school of furniture at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the 1920's and 1930's he disseminated the theories that came to influence an entire generation of architects.

Residences rarely remain completely unchanged in furniture for more than 70 years when they have been occupied continually. Nonetheless, this is exactly the case for this furniture - all of which was purchased in the 1930's, personally recommended by Kaare Klint in connection to his decoration of the residence.

Please note that this particular auction of modern art and design commences Monday at 4.00 pm, beginning with design featuring e.g. this set of furniture by Kaare Klint.
