"Ole Wancher(1903-1985)was a Danish architect and professor of architecture with furniture design as his speciality.He came to shape Danish furniture,both as an active designer and as a master teacher and his furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail.Construction and form were of utmost importance to him-treating furniture like a branch of architecture.In 1958 the Danish paper Politiken wrote'Owning a Wanscher-chair is an adventure every day,and will be so even several hundred years from now,for this is how long it lasts.'Praise indeed! His quest for slim dimensions and resilient form is fully realised in his Colonial collection for Carl Hansen."
A workshop in Odense, Denmark in 1908, was the birthplace of the Carl Hansen company. With a fast reputation for quality work, Carl Hansen confidently took on large projects like dining room sets and bedroom suites. However, Hansen eventually learned to capitalize on scaled-back versions of his popular sellers, realizing that their strongest asset was its hand craftsmanship and rationality. Carl Hansen invited Hans Wegner to create designs in 1949, launching a mutually beneficial relationship bringing success to the company and exposure to the young Wegner. Wegner was still relatively unknown, but soon gained wide acclaim that continues to today.
