Hans J. Wegner For Andreas Tuck Desk With Drop-Leaves In Oak And Teak

Product Details

Product Description

The Andreas Tuck desk, model 'AT305', crafted by Hans Wegner, showcases a cohesive design achieved through the use of geometric forms. The table's sleek composition is created by the arrangement of its elements, with straight and angular lines shaping its look. The desk has two fold-down leaves, one on each side, allowing the user to expand the tabletop surface. The base, made of solid oak, houses three drawers, providing ample storage. Interestingly, the press once dubbed Wegner's unique style of drawer handles as "nipples" when they were first exhibited at the Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition. The designer's stamp and the manufacturer's stamp can be found underneath the tabletop. Hans Wegner, born in Denmark in 1914, was a prolific furniture designer renowned for his extensive body of work. Wegner began his career as a cabinetmaker's apprentice at the age of fourteen before studying at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. In collaboration with other designers and architects, he developed his early collection, while his own studio was established in 1943. Wegner was driven by his passion for materials and his innovative designs, rooted in the principles of functionalism but tempered by his sculptural sensibility. His creativity spanned decades and yielded over 500 designs. Wegner's designs can be seen in significant architectural landmarks, including the UN Building and the Seagram Building in New York and NATO's headquarters in Paris. The desk's width without the leaves is a spacious 140 cm.
