Kai Kristiansen Oak and Glass Display Cabinet for FM Møbler, Denmark, c.1960

Kai Kristiansen Oak and Glass Display Cabinet for FM Møbler, Denmark, c.1960

$750.00 AUD

A superb and authentic example of Danish Modern design, this glass-fronted display cabinet is a testament to the genius of Kai Kristiansen, one of the last living masters of the era.

Produced circa 1960 by the esteemed Danish manufacturer Feldballes Møbelfabrik (FM), this piece is not merely a cabinet but a component of one of the most celebrated and innovative concepts in mid-century furniture: the modular FM Reolsystem.


Professionally restored to an exceptional standard, this cabinet embodies the core principles of Danish design: clean lines, unparalleled craftsmanship, and profound functionality. The carcass and door frames are constructed from beautifully figured oak, selected for its warm, honeyed tones and striking grain pattern. The use of solid oak for the structural elements, such as the door frames and handles, is complemented by high-quality oak veneer on the larger surfaces — a hallmark technique of the period that ensures both aesthetic beauty and structural stability.


The design is a study in minimalist elegance. The rectilinear form is perfected by precise mitred joinery, creating a seamless and visually clean profile. Kristiansen’s mastery is evident in the subtle yet sophisticated details, particularly the vertically oriented handles carved from solid oak. While Kristiansen is famous for more sculptural pulls, the deliberate understatement of these handles is a sophisticated design choice, ensuring that the visual focus remains on the objects displayed within the vitrine.


This cabinet was designed as part of the iconic FM Reolsystem, a revolutionary wall-mounted shelving system that offered unprecedented flexibility and personalisation to post-war homes. While it functions beautifully as a standalone, wall-mounted display piece, it is also a highly sought-after module for collectors seeking to build or complete a larger Kristiansen wall unit.

This piece retains its original maker's mark from Feldballes Møbelfabrik, confirming its authenticity and prestigious provenance. It stands as a functional work of art and a sound investment in design history, representing a significant artifact from the golden age of Danish Modernism.


In excellent condition and restored by our professional workshop. The oak surfaces have been refinished to enrich the natural color and protect the wood. Structurally sound and in excellent vintage condition, with all original components intact, including the maker's label.
