Poul Nørreklit wall cabinets
These very rare wall cabinets, designed by Poul Nørreklit and produced in the 1960s by Sigurd Hansens Møbelfabrik in Denmark, are exemplary works of Danish modernism that highlight both aesthetic refinement and material innovation. Nørreklit’s designs are recognized for their sharp linearity, high-quality craftsmanship, and the distinctive use of contrasting materials—qualities fully evident in these sculptural storage pieces.
Constructed from richly grained rosewood, the cabinets exhibit a bold yet elegant visual language. The rosewood, with its deep tones and expressive patterning, introduces warmth and organic complexity, while the steel framing elements provide a modernist counterbalance with their cool precision and structural clarity. This interplay of material textures and tones underscores Nørreklit’s mastery in combining natural and industrial components in a way that is both visually striking and functionally sound.
The cabinets are offered in two sizes:
-
Large Cabinet: 99 cm wide, 26.5 cm deep, and 66 cm high (approximately 39 inches wide, 10.4 inches deep, and 26 inches high).
-
Small Cabinet: 99 cm wide, 26 cm deep, and 33 cm high (approximately 39 inches wide, 10.2 inches deep, and 13 inches high).
Both variants are wall-mounted, offering space-saving utility and a clean, floating appearance. The flush-mounted doors and minimalist hardware preserve the cabinet’s sleek form, while the internal storage is configured for both practicality and discretion. These features make the cabinets well suited for living rooms, offices, or bedroom settings where aesthetic impact and high-performance storage are both desired.
Poul Nørreklit’s work, often seen as bridging the sculptural and functional within Danish design, commands increasing recognition for its precision, flair, and rarity. These wall cabinets exemplify that legacy and stand as sophisticated, collectible pieces in the canon of 20th-century Scandinavian design.
