A vintage Danish teak planter by Hugo Frandsen for Spøttrup Stolefabrik, featuring a removable black metal insert. Hugo Frandsen was a Danish furniture designer active primarily in the mid-20th century, noted for contributions to Scandinavian Modern design in the 1950s and 1960s. His work was produced by Danish manufacturers such as Spøttrup Stolefabrik and Børge M. Søndergaard, and includes chairs, stools, ottomans, and other pieces executed in solid woods like teak and oak, often combined with leather or fabric upholstery. Frandsen’s designs are characterized by clean lines, refined proportions, and an emphasis on material clarity, aligning with the broader Danish Modern tradition of functionality and understated craftsmanship. Examples of his furniture appear on the vintage and mid-century design market and are regularly attributed to Danish design of the 1960s.
