Your configuration:
Elegant and spacious cabinet in wood and wicker with a single metal frame. The cabinet lights up the home thanks to its unique design and the classic choice of materials, where French wicker combined with oak provides a warm radiance. The classic references are further emphasized by the rounded corners, which give the Be My Guest cabinet a soft touch. The organic design, together with the simple frame in black metal, helps to ensure a light appearance on the outside, while the fine, solid glass shelf creates lightness inside the spacious cabinet. The height of the cabinet provides space to display books, plants and interior design on top of it as a still life that enhances the feeling of coziness. The classic design combined with modern sophistication allows the Be My Guest cabinet to slide effortlessly into a contemporary interior. Be My Guest Skab is part of a larger series with a timeless design language and classic materials such as wicker, wood and metal as a common denominator. The Be My Guest series also includes a table, bench, stool, barstool and bar cabinet, and all furniture stands beautifully on its own, just as they are elegantly put together crosswise or in combination with other Warm Nordic designs.

Svend Aage Holm Sorensen
Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (1913-2004) is known for his self-produced lighting designs dating from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Despite the desirability of his designs on the vintage market, there is a lack of biographical information on the designer and his eponymous manufacturing company.
It is speculated that Holm Sørensen designed lights for well-known Danish lighting manufacturers Fog & Mørup and Lyfa in the 1950s, before establishing his own lighting company, Holm Sørensen A/S to produce and distribute his own designs.
Holm Sørensen’s style varies greatly, with designs from the 1950s truly reflecting the mid-century modern lighting style, with clear influences from the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements. His attenuated floor and table lamps contain the classic tri-pod base that was popular at the time, referencing such designs as H. Th. J. A. Busquet’s Pinocchio Lamp (1954).
From the 1960s onwards, Holm Sørensen’s style changed utterly. His designs diverged from colorful, geometric table lamps and floor lamps, to pendants with unfinished brass and copper surfaces. These pendant lamps showcase Holm Sørensen’s interpretation of the Brutalist style, which was popular from the 1950s to the mid-70s. Originally coined by the Swedish architect Hans Asplund, the style was internationally espoused by many iconic designers, including Le Corbusier.
Although there is a dearth of information available on the designer himself, many of Svend AAge Holm Sørensen’s designs supply a robust market for his modernist and brutalist designs which are sought by vintage lovers in Denmark and around the world.
