Mid-Century Scandinavian Modern Rosewood Bookcase by Gunni Omann for Omann Jun Furniture Factory, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This modernist cabinet was designed by Gunni Omann for the Danish manufacturer Omann Jun Møbelfabrik during the 1960s. It is made of high-quality rosewood. Its structure is very strong, with expressive graining, which gives furniture made of this wood a decorative and luxurious look. The bookcase has six shelves with adjustable height. The base is consist of tall, slender legs made of solid wood.

Gunni Omann was cinema passionate. In his projects, he often chose the shape of an elongated horizontal rectangle, suggesting anamorphic film landscapes, which he consistently reworked, doubled and combined.

Omann Jun Møbelfabrik A/S is a Danish manufacture that was founded by Andreas Omann in 1933. The family business initially focused on creating bedroom furniture, but in later years expanded production to include dining furniture, desks, sideboards and shelving systems. All made of high-quality woods such as teak, oak, mahogany and rosewood, which have been exported all over the world. Gunni Omann is the eldest son of Andreas Omann, who designed unique, individual pieces of furniture. Especially models 18, 75 and 55 became some of the most famous designs. The story goes that Dining Table 55 was such a success that at one point Hans J. Wegner visited furniture stores in Denmark to see what was the reason for the decline in sales of his own designs. The company's most popular furniture was designed by Gunni Omann, is considered a work of art and is still popular at international auctions.

The cabinet is in very good vintage condition. It has minor traces of use. The altered legs are not the original part of the furniture.

About the Maker

Omann Jun

Danish furniture manufacturing company Omann Jun Møbelfabrik A/S was founded by Andreas Omann in 1933. The family-run business initially focused on the production of bedroom furniture. Later, in 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, it expanded into dining room furniture , desks , sideboards , and shelving systems made in high-quality woods—teak, oak, and rosewood—which were exported worldwide. In 1954, after graduating as furniture designer and cabinet maker, eldest son Gunni Omann joined his father in the family business and went on to design many of the brand's most successful designs, including the Model 75 Desk (1958), Model 18 Sideboard (1960), and Model 55 Dining Table (1961). According to legend, the Model 55 was so successful that renowned design Hans J. Wegner began to scour furniture stores in Denmark to find out why sales for his own design table design were declining.

Omann Jun Møbelfabrik was taken over in 1979 by Gunni Omann and Bjarne Omann. In 1989, after 35 years of working with design, product, and sales development, Gunni Omann was forced to sell his 50% share of the company due to health problems. In 2005, Ulrich Omann took leadership from his father, and today the company concentrates on the production of office furniture, including many midcentury classics. The Omann family business remains operational to this day.
