Fredericia is a Danish company founded in 1911 as Fredericia Stolefabrik (Fredericia Chair Factory), by entrepreneur NP Ravnsø. The company is based on a simple principle: the production of quality products through careful selection of materials, functionality and attention to detail. Fredericia produces high-quality furniture, designed to last with the ambition of creating contemporary design that is always dignified, relevant and aesthetically intriguing.

Jørgen Gammelgaard (1938-1991) was a Danish cabinetmaker, industrial designer and professor, famous for his refined minimalism. Passionate about new production techniques, he created elegant and functional furniture, working with natural materials and stainless steel. Trained in the Danish artisan tradition, he collaborated with masters such as Arne Jacobsen and Mogens Koch, studying at the Royal Academy under Ole Wanscher and Poul Kjærholm. In 1973 he founded his own firm, working as a consultant for the Technological Institute and UNESCO on projects in Samoa, Sri Lanka and Sudan.
