Serving Trolley by Henning Korch for C.F. Christensen, Denmark 1960s
-
Description
Designed in the 1960s, Henning Korch’s serving cart for C.F. Christensen A/S Møbelfabrik showcases Danish craftsmanship with a refined balance between functionality and aesthetics. A piece that effortlessly integrates into various interiors, its form follows the principles of Scandinavian design: clean lines, practical use, and an emphasis on high-quality materials. This cart was designed with adaptability in mind, making it as practical today as it was when first introduced.
Design
Constructed from richly grained rosewood, the cart consists of three shelves, each with a distinct purpose. The top shelf, framed by raised edges, serves as a primary surface for serving. Below, a smaller middle shelf is finished in black formica, contrasting beautifully with the wood while adding durability. The lower shelf provides additional storage, with a dedicated open space for liquor bottles. Sculpted edges and seamless joinery highlight the expertise of the cabinetmaker, while the elegantly curved supports give the piece a light yet sturdy presence. Rolling caster wheels ensure easy mobility, allowing it to function effortlessly in different settings.
A fine example of mid-century Danish design, the piece is both practical and visually striking. The detailed craftsmanship and thoughtful layout reflect the era’s commitment to well-made, utilitarian furniture.
Condition
The serving cart is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear. The original manufacturer’s label remains intact, underscoring its authenticity and provenance. -
