Carl Hansen & Søn
Carl Hansen & Søn was founded in 1908 on the Danish island of Funen, under the aegis of the eponymous cabinetmaker Carl Hansen. Since its foundation, the small cabinetmaking workshop has experienced rapid success due to the high quality craftsmanship of its furniture as well as the foresight of its founder, responsible for the establishment of many fruitful collaborations with world-renowned designers.The growth of Carl Hansen & Son was deeply influenced by the long-term collaboration with one of the greatest designers of all time: Hans J. Wegner. This creative synergy began in 1949, when Holger Hansen, son of Carl Hansen, attempted the fate with the unknown designer. From that moment,Wegner designed a series of successful furniture, including the now iconic Wishbone Chair.Read more

Designed by

Poul Kjaerholm

Poul Kjaerholm
Poul Kjærholm (1929-1980) was one of the most prominent names in the history of Danish design. His style, which he strictly adhered to throughout his career, envisaged blending the inspiration of the great masters of Modernism of the 1930s such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe with the delicate craftsmanship typical of design. He was among the first Danish designers to extensively use tubular steel in the design of the base of his chairs and armchairs, often coupled with the choice of warm and natural materials such as leather or wicker for the seat. He studied as a cabinetmaker at the Copenhagen School of Applied Arts, where he was one of the favorite pupils of the great architect Jørn Utzon. During his lifetime he was always loyal to the company of his friend Ejvind Kold Christensen, who exclusively produced all of his furnishings. Among the most important awards he has won are two Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale (1957, 1960) and a Lunning Prize (1958). Shortly after his death, E. Kold Christensen was taken over by the greatest Fritz Hansen, who still has some of his most iconic products in Kjærholm's collections. Some of his creations have also been re-edited over the years by Carl Hansen & Søn and PP Møbler.Read more
