About the Item

Almost uniquely, Frits Henningsen was both a designer and a cabinet-maker. He cared deeply about quality, and was uncompromising in the execution of his designs, considering every detail. As a result, his furniture achieves an aesthetic timelessness. The deceptively simple form of this chest, perhaps inspired by Shaker furniture, shows off the beauty of the wood and the refinement of the woodworker’s skill. Impressed with Frits Henningsen’s studio numbers.
