I picked up a Hos Wulff sideboard and was intrigued as I have never heard of him before. I initially thought it was designed by Bernhard Pedersen, as they are very similar.
Does anyone know anything about Hos Wulf?

Very similar
but I think the legs are different, the sides are rounder and the internal configuration is different, as there are 8 drawers. It's very similar though, isn't it?

The mystery continues...
Just got this reply from the BPS Facebook page (from Thomas, I presume?):
Bernhard Pedersen & Son: Just asked my father. "Hos Wulff" was a big furniture store in Copenhagen. They also sold our furniture but your example is not from BPS. We never made a double section with 8 drawers. We had max. 4 drawers.
Back to square one.

despite living just across the bridge from Copenhagen, in Sweden, my Danish sucks.
Still, I wonder if "Hos Wullf" doesn't simply mean "At Wullf's", Wullf being the family name of the owner of the shop...

The tag does say "Designed by". This bio entry linked below states that Hos Wulff's was a cabinetmaker's shop.
"Søren Ulrik Petersen 1961 -
Trained as a cabinet maker in the work shop of Hos Wulff's Møbelsnedkeri, Copenhagen completing his apprenticeship in 1985 prior to continuing his education at the Danish Design School."

I only meant to say that I don't think "Hos" is the name of a designer.
Still, I might be wrong. Any danes named Hos around?

The bio/vitae info at this page does make it seem like hos may not be a name.
