Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition - part 2
/
Today there was a second visit to the Cabinetmakers’ Autumn Exhibition at the museum at Øregaard in Hellerup. In part this was because I wanted to double-check some of the information that was in the first post because the Stack Chair in the exhibition was not the piece of furniture that appeared in the catalogue and the Wedge Chair and Stool were not actually in the published catalogue … my fault for not writing down the information on the labels properly on the first visit although it was hardly an onerous task to go back but a really good opportunity to look again at the furniture.
I have to confess that actually I started the visit with a coffee in the museum cafe and that itself was also fortunate as chatting to the people working there I was directed up to the space above the cafe where there was a terrific exhibition of work from a school who had visited the museum during the week. These were year 4 pupils so I think that means they were about 10 years old and inspired by the furniture they had seen, they had designed their own furniture and made models that were still on display.
With this second visit to Øregaard, some extra photographs have been added to my catalogue of images.

This second post is also an opportunity to include more photographs of the interior of the house - specifically the elegant staircase which shows exactly why Øregaard has been such an appropriate venue for the exhibition.
