Just picked this up.
Its well made, drawers are solid teak.
Local auction house had it listed as Gunni Omann.
Only markings are on the underside and read 'made in norway', which makes me doubt the Omann attribution.
Does anyone know if Omann designed for any norwegian makers?
Anyone recognize the style?
Thanks!
Gunni Omann designed for himself. I have heard unsubstantiated rumors that he designed for others, but I think it is unlikely. Generally there were two sorts of designers in the danish business: professional designers who tended to be architects with a 'M.A.A' after their name. Like Wegner, Mogensen, Juhl, Kofod Larsen, Hans Olsen.
And then there were designers who were the owners of their own shops, and almost without exception they only designed for themselves. Sometimes they hired an outside designer to draw somethings. Helge Sibast, N.O. Møller, Aksel Kjersgaard, Johannes Aasbjerg, Gunni Omann were in this category.
Made in Norway means it is not a Gunni Omann. And it also does not look like a Gunni Omann either.
