Bed frames
This rare pair of bed frames, produced in Denmark during the 1950s, beautifully exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design principles with a focus on natural materials, craftsmanship, and organic forms. Crafted from walnut, the frames showcase the wood’s rich warmth and durability, emphasized through softly curved horizontal slats on both the headboards and footboards that highlight an elegant, flowing silhouette.
A standout detail is the cane-woven footboards, skillfully incorporated to add texture and visual lightness, balancing the solid walnut’s presence with the airy flexibility of the cane weave. The delicate craftsmanship extends to tapered legs and smoothly rounded joints, reflecting the high-quality workmanship synonymous with Danish furniture of this era.
Although the designer remains unknown, the style and construction align closely with Danish modernist traditions, focusing on functional elegance and material integrity.
Each frame measures 95 cm in width, 200 cm in depth, and 76 cm in height at the headboard (with the footboard at 69 cm), fitting mattresses sized approximately 84.5 cm by 190 cm. This set offers a rare, authentic example of classic Danish mid-century bedroom furniture.
