Carl Hansen & Søn
Carl Hansen founded his company on the firm belief that high-quality craftsmanship and mass production could go hand in hand, thus guaranteeing the end consumer a high-quality product at a reasonable price. Even today, this simple but important idea is the basis of Carl Hansen & Søn's production, which combines cutting-edge production technologies with traditional woodworking techniques. Much of the furniture produced today was designed by some of Denmark's greatest architects between the 1930s and 1960s.
Borge Mogensen
Børge Mogensen, born in 1914 in Aalborg, was one of the most influential figures on the Danish design scene. He was the pioneer of the characteristic minimalist design of the Nordic country: his intention was to create a functional and easily accessible furniture line. He was put in charge of the FDB Møbler furniture design studio, for which he worked until 1959, when he opened his own studio. After the death of his teacher, Kaare Klint, he succeeded him as designer of the Danish Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen.
