-
The CH-304 sideboard was designed by Hans Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Søn in Denmark during the 1950s. It is crafted from teak and beech with brass detailing, embodying the Scandinavian modern aesthetic. The design features a rectangular case elevated on elegantly curved legs, connected by a brass cross brace for structural support and visual balance. The sideboard includes a combination of drawers and sliding doors, revealing adjustable shelves and internal storage compartments.
The teak surfaces display a warm patina with a refined grain pattern, characteristic of high-quality Scandinavian woodwork. The beech legs contrast subtly with the darker teak, highlighting the craftsmanship in the joinery. The brass support elements show slight oxidation, consistent with age, enhancing the vintage character of the piece.
Hans Wegner was one of Denmark’s most influential furniture designers, known for his commitment to functionalism and craftsmanship. His work often balanced sculptural forms with a deep understanding of material properties. The CH-304 sideboard is a testament to his ability to integrate aesthetics and usability, making it a rare and sought-after piece from the mid-century period.
The dimensions of the sideboard are 168 cm in width (66.1 inches), 45 cm in depth (17.7 inches), and 126.5 cm in height (49.8 inches).
