Paere Dansk’s collection of vintage rosewood
furniture is designed and made in Denmark during 1950-1970. This collection
is complemented by bespoke dining tables and limited edition chairs
and sofas that are all handmade in Denmark according to the same traditions
of craftsmanship as expressed in vintage pieces. These newly made
pieces, like all vintage chairs sold by Paere Dansk, are only made
of solid woods, predominantly solid rosewood. |

During the 1950s and 1960s, whilst most in Europe
(and some in Denmark) were developing furniture made of new materials
like plastics, laminates and synthetic foams, furniture makers in
Denmark afforded architects the freedom to build sculptural shapes
into functional objects by investing in new technologies for turning
solid wood. The qualities associated with hand-craftsmanship were
preserved as the turned wood shapes required extensive hand finishing,
i.e. rasping, detailing, assembling, polishing, and upholstering.

This combination of mechanisation and hand craftsmanship gave
rise to a distinctly Danish “look” combining organic
3-dimensional shapes with clean 2-dimensional lines. The choice
of rosewood distinguished the best pieces from run-of the-mill and
allowed – given rosewood’s unparalleled strength - architects
to design thin elements into chairs and tables, constrained only
by the modern requirements of functionality and comfort. |

Pære Dansk’s mid-century Danish furniture collection
focuses on timeless design, quality of construction, comfort/functionality
and rosewood. Not a ‘retro’ dealer of iconic designs
made of plywood, bentwood, plastic, fibre glass, chrome, stone or
foam, Paere Dansk carries the standard for solid wood furniture
designed and made in Denmark according to traditions unique to Danish
furniture makers since the 1950s. |
