He worked as an architect and professor of architecture, but his focus was on furniture design. As an active designer and teacher, he had a major influence on Danish furniture design. Today, his furniture is regarded as a modern classic – elegant and functional, with a special attention to detail. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOle Wanscher placed particular emphasis on construction and form, and always saw furniture design as a branch of architecture. He created his best-known pieces mainly between the late 1940s and the early 1960s. He was interested in high-quality, industrially produced furniture and, in line with his belief that good design should be available to everyone, designed several such pieces himself. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWanscher's designs are characterised by slender dimensions and sturdy forms.
