Danish modern modular wine rack in solid teak, attributed to designer Richard Nissen and produced by Nissen Langå in Denmark, dating from the 1950s–1960s, one module for six bottles, dimensions 12.5 x 30 x 49.5 cm, weight 2.08 kg, in excellent condition with minimal signs of use.
Description from the seller
Danish Modern wine rack – solid teak – attributed to Richard Nissen – Nissen Langå – Denmark – 1960s
A characteristic example of functional Scandinavian design, a rare and architecturally designed modular wine rack from Danish modernism of the 1960s.
This type of wine rack is attributed to the Danish designer Richard Nissen and produced by Nissen Langå, a manufacturer known for its modular wine rack systems from the period of Danish mid-century design.
This object transcends mere function: it is a carefully constructed design piece where rhythm, balance and material expression come together. Fully made of solid teak, built from turned cylindrical supports with refined rounded ends. The repetition of horizontal bars creates a graphic light-shadow effect that gives the object an almost sculptural quality — even without bottles it retains its aesthetic power.
Modular system – flexibly expandable
This is one module, suitable for 6 bottles.
The system is modularly designed and can:
• be expanded side-by-side
• be stacked on top of each other
• be used freestanding
Thus, at the time, wine storage could be adapted to space and collection — a typical functional Danish design principle.
Specifications
• Material: solid teak
• Style: Mid-century, Scandinavian
• Production: Denmark
• Period: 1950s-60s
• Capacity: 6 bottles
Dimensions per piece (W x D x H):
12.5 x 30 x 49.5 cm
Weight: 2080 grams
Very good vintage condition, with minimal signs of use appropriate to age and use.
No structural defects.
Aesthetic value:
Thanks to the warm reddish-brown teak and the graphic rhythm of the round supports, this object functions not only as a wine rack but also as a sculptural design accent within:
• Scandinavian interior
• Japandi setting
• Mid-century modern home
• Design or loft interiors
A timeless Danish design object where craft, functionality and aesthetic simplicity come together.
It is carefully packed and insured for smart shipping with track and trace.
