Hot Stuff: Danish modern at Klassik by Lynne
Laura Thomas
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Printable Version
The interest in Danish modern furniture that swept the 1960s has returned, and Lynne Jensen of Clayton, a Danish immigrant, is in the position to take advantage of it.
With partner John Lipscomb, she recently opened Klassik by Lynne in Emeryville, where she sells vintages pieces her family find in Denmark.
"We find a piece we like and we think people will also like and find appealing," she said. "That's what's important to us."
Jensen, who came to the United States in 1986 and ran both interior design and construction companies, knows that people like big names, and she can quote the ones she sells: Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder, Greta Jalk, Borge Mogensen, Kai Kristiansen and more.
While those names can command high prices, Jensen sets hers based on her costs for the item plus shipping. And many people back in Denmark are getting smart about demanding good prices, she said.
Still, good workmanship and style exist in many unsigned pieces. "It's an investment," she said. "You can make money on it."
Although Jensen sells the pieces as is, she often includes refinishing in the price. "We keep it the way we find it because we want the customer to tell us what they want," she said, adding there's a surcharge for French polish.
At the moment, the showroom has an Arne Jacobsen Egg chair for $10,000, a Hans Wegner Papa Bear chair at $7,000 and a Mogens Hansel leather sofa for $2,250. But there's a good selection of desks ($350 to $1,400), sofas, occasional chairs ($250 to $600), coffee tables ($150 to $1,000), dining room tables ($450 to $1,800) and chairs, credenzas ($650 to $2,000), bookcases and odd items, both signed and unknown. Rosewood pieces command a higher price than teak.
And shortly, there should be even more. A container from Denmark arrived last week.
