Hello hive mind,

Looking to ID this sideboard for a friend. Looks to share some features of Arne Vodder sideboards I’ve seen but haven’t found this exact one. Thanks for your input!

@chrismaxtopher. Have found the same sideboards marked ACO mobler,Made in Denmark. Some sellers say Gunni Omann was the designer but I haven't found any documentation to prove this.

Well, as lexi already said, it's only sure that it is manufactured by Axel Christensen (ACO Mobler), but the designer is not verified, many sellers are attributing it to Gunni Omann as designer, but you know, if only one seller spreads nonsense on the net, a hundred others refer to this nonsense.

But with almost absolute certainty it's not an Arne Vodder design, because it's nowhere documented that Vodder has ever worked for ACO.

I’ve never found any attributed designers for Axel Christensen.

Gunni Omann had nothing to do with Axel Christensen. More so, according to the current Omann family, Gunni was not even a designer for Omann Jun. Rather, he was the company’s sales rep for the U.S. market. When I specifically inquired how design credit for mid century Omann Jun pieces should be given, their response was “design by Omann Jun”. The latest generation is making furniture again and can be contacted via their website: http://omannjun.com
