Mid-century Walnut Bookcase in the Dyrlund Style

$1,800List Price

About the Item

Made of richly grained walnut, this elegant mid-century bookcase, crafted in the Dyrlund style, features softly rounded corners and fluid lines, with shelves that seem to curve outward in a gentle, rhythmic movement. At the base, a cabinet with sliding doors provides concealed storage, while the upper shelves offer generous display space. The flowing silhouette, including the subtly bowed seat-like midsection, reflects the emphasis on organic harmony and human-centered design characteristic of Scandinavian modernism. The bookcase has been well-preserved, with a professional repair to a minor chip on the bottom of the left side. This discreet restoration maintains the piece’s structural integrity and contributes to its continued longevity. Context and Legacy The bookcase embodies the Danish modern approach popularized in the mid-20th century, characterized by Dyrlund and other Scandinavian makers who sought to marry natural materials with elegant, streamlined construction. Walnut, prized for its warmth and expressive grain, enhances the organic softness of the form. At the same time, the curved details echo the sculptural sensibilities that distinguished mid-century design from purely utilitarian furniture. Collector’s Note This bookcase is a strong example of mid-century craftsmanship and modernist aesthetics. Its sculptural lines and functional versatility make it a suitable centerpiece in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. The professional restoration ensures durability while preserving its original beauty, offering collectors a timeless piece that balances elegance with practicality.

Dancing Sculpture in Resin in the Style of Umberto Boccioni

Located in Pasadena, CA

Sculpture is at its most essential as a physical, tactile medium, and needs to be touched to be fully experienced.

This dancing sculpture, in gun metal patina finish resin, stands on its wooden base, featuring intricate details, height, singular twists, interstices, and curves, culminating in an energetic union that transforms the static and individual into a dynamic couple. As you let your hands wander, with closed eyes, you can sense fluidity in their movements, brought to life by soft, rounded lines. Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange. By taking this sculpture home...
