One of his best-known works is the Guldhøj Stool, developed from measurements of an ancient folding chair preserved by the National Museum of Denmark and adapted for modern production with a folding wooden frame and leather seat.
Hundevad designed the Model 30 Chair in 1958. During the 1960s Hundevad & Co. also produced a broad range of bookcases, cabinets, and sideboards.
