This Danish Modern take from Heywood Wakefield is beautiful, don’t you think? Again, the company is so well known for its iconic blonde furniture, we forget they were a full-line manufacturer. This ad for their new, 1959 Contessa line says there are 45 pieces in all, including for the bedroom.
A pretty vignette, altogether — and notice the walls, which I peg as grasscloth. I put grasscloth in a similar colorway in my living room, dining room about two years ago, and we love it. I’ll do a post soon on this very classic and versatile wall covering option.

One of these dining sets was on E-Bay not that long ago. I didn’t catch the final bid price on it, though. Generally, the prices on these Danish Modern styles from Heywood-Wakefield aren’t as much as on their more well-known styles. That may be changing, though, as Danish Modern becomes more “retro” and in demand.
