On occasion of the sale of The Ambassador Loeb Collection, Phillips Auctions asked us to design easels, side tables and chairs for the preview show at Erichsens Palæ in the center of Copenhagen. The furniture then went on to travel with the works to the subsequent previews in London and New York City.

The sale most prominently contained works by Vilhelm Hammershøi, but other important figures such as Krøyer, LA Ring and Berta Wegmann were also part of the sale.

The easels and sidetables were inspired by ones found in a painting by Hammershøi.

The furniture was built in Walnut with ebony detailing.
