A severe, almost ecclesiastical cabinet by Danish artist Tage Andersen, made in iron and set with hand-made cobalt blue stained glass. Tall and narrow, its proportions feel more architectural than domestic – closer to an altar fragment than conventional storage.
The stained glass has been sandblasted, softening the surface and diffusing the light into dense, saturated planes, more in line with church glazing than decorative glass. It sits within a rigid, cross-braced iron frame, where sections of the metal have been abrasively finished – welds and joins lightly ground back and polished, catching the light against the darker, matte surface.
There’s a slight looseness to the making (which we adore) – edges not perfectly resolved, surfaces subtly uneven – which sits comfortably with Andersen’s hand rather than anything industrial. Loop-formed feet lift the piece from the ground, while linear, rod-formed finials introduce a restrained, almost devotional note.
There are traces of Gothic and Baroque influence, but stripped back – less ornament, more silhouette. Made by Andersen himself, the cabinet sits firmly within his language, where structure and theatre are held in balance.

About the artist
Tage Andersen (b. 1947, Thy, Denmark) began as a self-taught florist before moving into furniture and interiors. In 1987 he opened Huset Tage Andersen in Copenhagen – part studio, part gallery, part shop – which became the centre of his practice. His work often combines hand-forged iron, stained glass and natural materials, typically made in small numbers or as one-off pieces.
A nightmarish Brutalist creation by the German postwar artist Heinz Otterson. Built in 1970s Berlin, this candelabra recalls the coarse textures of his lithographs through welded and patinated rusted metal. Sizeable, and exploding with iron drippings, bike chain, musket balls and florets, it stands as a grotesque satire of baroque exuberance.

A sculptural bronze lamp, late 20th century, formed as an opening plant or flower, rising from a root-like base into a flared, petal-shaped shade.
Compellingly unusual in both silhouette and detail, it sits within the expressive, theatrical design language of the 1980s–90s, recalling the work of Garouste and Bonetti, particularly their more organic forms.
The shade is made from overlapping, leaf-like elements, pierced with stylised openwork. When lit, it casts a dramatically animated field of light.
The stem rises in a fluid line into a base that reads as roots or limbs – irregular and slightly surreal. The bronze has a rich, worked patina, with darker tones in the recesses and warmer highlights across the surface.
Monogrammed with an obscure “A” to the base, though the maker remains unidentified.
Sculptural first and functional second, it holds incredible presence even when unlit.
