Muut tiedot

Hans J. Wegner was hired by architect Palle Suenson in 1946-1948 to do a job. Wegner's primary task was renovation and rebuilding of the sunken ship named M / S Venus.

The Danish-built and Norwegian-owned M / S Venus was seized by the Germans during the occupation and lowered by the Port of Hamburg with great damage.

Helsingør shipyard got the job of remodeling, expanding and modernizing M / S Venus into a floating luxury hotel. The ship was to sail between Bergen and Newcastle and compete with aviation by offering the traveler comfort, as in a well-equipped luxury hotel. The shipyard gave the job to architect Palle Suenson, and since the company wanted interior with many different and modern furniture types, lamps and carpets, Palle Suenson hired Hans J. Wegner to handle it.

When M / S Venus got back in the water in 1948, it was now in a new and modernized version.

The three chairs up for sale is from the lower deck.
