Extracting the essence of true craftsmanship, the Guild shelf was originally designed in 1954 for Peter Hvidt’s family home in Klampenborg. Subtly mirroring the curving paths of the property’s garden, the design’s pared-back, undulating form and uncompromised level of detail are defining features, resulting in a shelf of timeless appeal and exceptional composition.DimensionsH: 13 cm / 5 inW: 75 cm / 30 inD: 24.6 cm / 10 inWeight3 kgProduct MaterialSolid walnut and powder-coated aluminium.Production ProcessSolid oak or walnut wood slats are cut, glued together and shaped using a CNC machine.

The two formed an instant, close friendship, moving on to experience their first success as a design duo after entering and winning the 1943 Swedish Slöjdföreningen's competition.
