These pieces just scream classic Danish modernist design. They have very simple, straight designs. The credenza sits on tall legs which give it a lighter, less imposing feel. The hutch, as well, is smaller in proportion and floats above the credenza. The tambour doors give the front a monolithic, seamless look and the bookmatched veneers on the doors are one of the indications that the design was well thought out. It is nice to have a place to display vintage ceramics or glass pieces but so many of the American mid century hutches are very large pieces that really dominate a room. This set strikes a nice balance.
Faarup is a high quality manufacturer that made many pieces from well known designers. I haven't turned up the provenance on this particular piece but it is reminiscent of designs from Arne Vodder and Sven Larsen.
