When the two roller shutter doors on the Wegner credenza CH825 are slid to one side and behind the interior backing, the interior of the credenza is fully accessible. If the credenza, on the other hand, is closed, the doors form a calm, continuous veneer surface with a vertical grain texture.
A vertically placed piece of wood is attached through a thin, square steel plate, and used to open the doors. The storage space is divided into three compartments, of which the two outer ones have two shelves each and the middle has four pull-out trays. The shelves can be adjusted as needed. Also available with a solid wood base.
With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931 and subsequently entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938, he worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Muller's architectural office before establishing his own office in 1943.
