PINWHEEL

Slim and shapely, Hvidt & Mølgaard’s Pinwheel HM7 was first produced in 1953
and is an unusual piece. Named after the children’s toy, where a wheel of paper
spins around an axle, it draws inspiration from this playful example of geometric
design. As such, Pinwheel is composed of six smaller tables that are purchased
individually. Slot them together, however, and they cleverly form one
shield-shaped piece.

Designed to be adaptable, this table can be creatively refashioned to suit all
sorts of living arrangements: Pinwheel can exist as several bijou tables placed
throughout the home, utilized together as a console, or even configured into the
shape of a snake or a flower.

“Pinwheel embodies Hvidt & Mølgaard’s renowned eye for detail,” notes
&Tradition CEO and founder Martin Kornbek Hansen. “Cleverly designed to
work as individual pieces or one larger table, it is a multi-tasking solution for
flexible living.”

Hvidt and Mølgaard stood at the forefront of mid-century Danish furniture design.
Both trained as architects, a professional background that is apparent in the rigorous
approach they applied to furniture design. Their pieces often lend a sculptural
element to the spaces they inhabit – and Pinwheel, with its precise and elegant
aesthetic – is no exception. Available in either solid white oiled oak or oiled walnut,
the gleaming brass legs of this decorative piece are finished with a satin polish.
