OW150 | Neck pillow
Upholstery:
TERRA® 20366 Marble
The OW150 Neck Pillow by Ole Wanscher is designed to complement the elegant OW150 Daybed and add extra comfort. Upholstered in OEKO-TEX® certified leather from Sørensen Leather’s TERRA® collection, the pillow is available in four variants.
Ole Wanscher was integral to the aesthetic and functionality of modern Danish design. Having studied under Kaare Klint, he helped shape Danish furniture design as a designer and as an educator when he took over Klint’s professorship at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Wanscher’s classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”.
Elegant simplicity and beautiful design
The clean, classic OW150 Daybed designed by Ole Wanscher in 1963 features a sumptuous upholstered seat that appears to float above an angular, solid oak frame. The cushion is supported by a delicate yet sturdy cotton webbing. Hand-sewn buttons create a simple square pattern that highlights the daybed’s geometric form, while the OW150 Neck Pillow enhances comfort and relaxation. The OW150 Daybed illustrates how Wanscher was intrigued and inspired by classic furniture design. He studied it wherever he went, incorporating the styles and elements he felt best merged functionality and aesthetics into his own work. His modern classics are still revered for their detail and his deep respect for materials.
