There is a moment that every guitar player knows. You walk into a room, you see the instrument on the wall, and something in you relaxes. The guitar is there. The room feels right. Openhagen has spent years designing objects that create that feeling. Wall mounts that turn a guitar into a display. Cases that protect without hiding. Stands that make you play more simply by keeping the instrument visible. The Sculptural Guitar Table is something different. It is the first time we have asked: what if the furniture in that room was designed the same way the guitar was designed? Built the way guitars are built The table is the work of Hanne Kortegaard, one of Denmark's most respected furniture designers. When Openhagen brought her the brief, the instruction was simple: start with the guitar, not with the table. The result is a piece of furniture that borrows its logic entirely from the instrument. The body of the table is slatted, like the top of a guitar body. The assembly is string-tightened, with six brass-finished tuning pegs running between the legs, holding the structure under tension the way strings hold an instrument together. The shape of the tabletop follows the curves of a guitar body: organic, asymmetric, and immediately recognisable to anyone who has ever held one. It is not guitar-themed. Guitar-themed furniture is a very different thing. This is guitar-informed. There is a difference, and you feel it the moment you see it. Details that disappear until you need them   The sound hole of a guitar is one of its most defining features: a void that gives the instrument its voice. On the Sculptural Guitar Table, that void becomes a hidden function. Three magnetic coasters sit flush within the tabletop, invisible until you reach for one. The shelf built into the lower body of the table is integrated into the structure, not added to it. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Every detail that references the guitar also does something. Solid Oak and Walnut. Flat-pack delivery. The table is available in solid Oak and Walnut, with a Coffee Table and Side Table variant.  It is designed to be assembled at home fromflat-pack, without compromising the integrity of the construction. The string-tightened assembly method means the piece gains structural rigidity as it is put together, in the same way a guitar body tightens as the strings come up to tension.

Why this exists Openhagen makes things for people who take their guitars seriously and their homes equally seriously.  The wall mount that folds flat when the guitar comes down. The display cabinet that controls humidity. The floor stand that disappears when not in use. The Sculptural Guitar Table is for the room those objects live in. It is for the guitarist who has spent years getting every other detail right and looked at the table in the corner and thought: that is the one thing that doesn't belong here. It belongs now.

Keeping your guitar properly humidified is essential for maintaining its sound quality, playability, and overall lifespan. Guitars are made from natural wood, which reacts to changes in temperature and humidity. When the air becomes too dry, the wood can shrink, causing cracks, fret issues, and poor tone. If you want your instrument to stay in excellent condition, learning how to humidify a guitar the right way is extremely important. This guide explains simple and safe methods to maintain the ideal humidity level for your guitar while helping you avoid common mistakes. Why Proper Humidity Is Important for a Guitar Wood absorbs and releases moisture depending on the surrounding environment. When humidity drops too low, the guitar loses moisture and begins to dry out. This can affect both acoustic and electric guitars. Low humidity may cause: Cracks in the guitar body Sharp fret edges String buzzing Neck movement or warping Changes in tone quality Bridge lifting on acoustic guitars Experts recommend keeping guitars in an environment with humidity levels between 45% and 55% for the best protection. Signs Your Guitar Is Too Dry Before you start humidifying your guitar, check for these common warning signs: Sharp Frets If the fret edges feel rough or sharp, the neck wood may have shrunk due to dry air. Buzzing Strings Dry conditions can change the guitar’s shape slightly, causing the strings to buzz against the frets. Cracks in the Wood Small cracks on the top, sides, or fretboard often indicate moisture loss. Thin or Weak Tone A dry guitar may lose warmth and resonance, especially acoustic models. Neck Problems Humidity changes can affect neck alignment and playability. Best Ways to Humidify a Guitar There are several reliable methods to maintain proper moisture levels for your instrument. Use a Guitar Humidifier A guitar humidifier is one of the safest solutions for preventing dryness. These devices release controlled moisture inside the guitar case. Common options include: Soundhole humidifiers Case humidifiers Humidity control packets Most humidifiers are easy to use and designed specifically for guitars. Store the Guitar in a Hard Case Leaving a guitar exposed to open air increases the risk of moisture loss. A hard case helps stabilize humidity and protects the instrument from sudden environmental changes. Keeping the guitar inside its case also improves the effectiveness of humidifiers. Use a Room Humidifier If you own several guitars, using a room humidifier can help maintain stable humidity throughout the entire space. A room humidifier is especially useful during winter when indoor heating systems dry out the air quickly. For best results: Keep humidity between 45% and 55% Place guitars away from heaters and vents Use a hygrometer to monitor the room Check Humidity with a Hygrometer A hygrometer measures humidity levels accurately. It helps prevent both dryness and excess moisture. Digital hygrometers are affordable and useful for: Guitar rooms Cases Studios Practice spaces Monitoring humidity regularly helps you catch problems early. How to Humidify an Acoustic Guitar Acoustic guitars are more sensitive to humidity because of their hollow wooden construction. Simple Steps: Place a guitar humidifier in the soundhole or case Store the guitar inside a closed hard case Check humidity levels every few days Refill the humidifier when necessary Avoid using overly wet materials that could leak water onto the wood. How to Humidify an Electric Guitar Electric guitars are generally more resistant to humidity changes, but the neck and fretboard still require care. To protect an electric guitar: Keep it away from direct heat Maintain moderate room humidity Use a case during dry seasons Monitor fretboard condition regularly Proper humidity also helps prevent fret sprout and neck issues. DIY Guitar Humidifier Method If you do not have a commercial humidifier, you can create a temporary DIY solution. What You Need: A clean sponge A plastic container or resealable bag Distilled water Instructions: Lightly dampen the sponge Squeeze out excess water completely Place the sponge inside the container with small holes Put the container inside the guitar case Never allow water to touch the guitar directly. Can Too Much Humidity Damage a Guitar? Yes. Excess moisture can also create problems. High humidity may cause: Swollen wood Raised string action Neck instability Glue weakening Dull sound quality Maintaining balanced humidity is the safest approach. Tips to Protect Your Guitar Year-Round During Winter Indoor heating systems reduce humidity quickly. Check moisture levels more often during colder months. During Summer In humid environments, avoid storing guitars in damp rooms or direct sunlight. While Traveling Use a hard case to reduce sudden temperature and humidity changes. Final Thoughts Knowing how to humidify a guitar properly can help prevent expensive repairs and keep your instrument sounding great for years. Whether you play acoustic or electric guitar, maintaining the correct humidity level protects the wood, improves playability, and preserves tone quality. Using a quality humidifier, monitoring humidity with a hygrometer, and storing your guitar correctly are simple steps that make a big difference in long-term guitar care.
