$9,500 · 1960s Solid Teak “JH574” Bench by Hans J. Wegner for Johannes Hansen

An outstanding example from the workshop that defined the pinnacle of Danish cabinetmaking, this 1960s JH574 bench by Hans J. Wegner for Johannes Hansen embodies everything collectors seek in early Wegner pieces: sculptural clarity, uncompromising craftsmanship, and the quiet strength of master-finished solid teak. The bench is crafted entirely from beautifully aged teak, its surface now carrying the warm, luminous patina that only decades of careful use can produce. Wegner’s sensitivity to form is evident in every detail — from the softly rounded edges to the tapered legs that give the piece its unmistakable lightness. The slatted top introduces rhythm and shadow, creating an architectural presence whether used as a bench, coffee table, or sculptural accent in a larger room. The underside carries the Johannes Hansen Copenhagen stamp along with the iconic double-axe mark, confirming production by Denmark’s most revered cabinetmaker — the atelier responsible for Wegner’s highest-quality works. Freshly cleaned and polished by our team, the bench shows beautifully and remains structurally excellent. A rare and collectible piece of Danish design history, offering both functional versatility and timeless visual restraint.
