$6,800 · Nanna Ditzel Wicker Basket Chair for Ludvig Pontoppidan

A true collector’s dream. This original 1950s basket chair by Nanna Ditzel for Ludvig Pontoppidan is perhaps the finest example to ever surface on the market. The handwoven wicker seat is pristine—flawless in its craftsmanship, rich in tone, and gracefully suspended in a sculptural teak frame crafted from old-growth timber. The teak has aged into a deep, warm patina that only time can achieve. Ditzel’s organic design language is on full display here, blending Scandinavian restraint with playful, modern curves. The chair feels like it was pulled from a time capsule—every detail intact, every line elegant. An extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Danish design history in museum-worthy condition. This piece sits proudly in the company of works by other legendary Danish designers such as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen, Ib Kofod-Larsen, and Poul Kjærholm—a testament to the innovation and artistry that defined the golden era of Danish modernism.
