Simplicity
Danish contemporary design is renowned for its simplicity, but is a source of both material and spiritual abundance. The form of simplicity that never compromises on the overall shape of an object or an idea.
A fundamental principle in nature
Abundant, yet simple forms are found throughout the natural world, as an expression of function and economy. But nature goes further. The fundamental principle of the natural world is that if two theories can each go to explain the same phenomenon, then it's the simpler of the two that holds true.
Creation in hard times
This cohesion between simplicity and abundance has a parallel in society, where economically hard times have often been the source of abundant creativity. Within a few years of the national bankruptcy of 1813, Copenhagen was a flourishing centre for European creativity. A city of barely 100,000 inhabitants produced such world-famous names as H. C. Ørsted, Søren Kierkegaard, Rasmus Rask, Bertel Throvaldsen and Hans Christian Andersen. Ørsted's own work demonstrated in a brilliant and elegant fashion the connection between abundance and simplicity. His description of the electro-magnetic principle covered just four pages. The greater the discovery, the less space it requires to describe it.
Wharfside Contemporary Furniture
In 1962, when Wharfside Furniture first opened its doors, we began a different kind of company. Our concept was simple, give the customer the best service and best possible selection of Contemporary furniture available anywhere. Our furniture is made to the highest standards. Our factories in Denmark and Northern Europe exercise the same, time honoured, craft skills they used way back them. The result is furniture you can be just as proud to own, made just for you. Over the years we have expanded our ranges from our origins as Danish dining room furniture specialists to the very latest luxury solid wood bedroom furniture.
