ALL DESIGNERS AND THEIR WORK ARE
UNITED BY THE POWERFUL IDEA THAT
MODERN DESIGN CAN ENHANCE THE HUMAN
EXPERIENCE. WE INVITE YOU TO EXPLORE
OUR COLLECTION THAT SHAPES SPACES
– INDOOR AND OUTDOOR – WITH DANISH
CRAFTSMANSHIP, TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND
FUNCTIONALITY.
Our story began in 1908 when Danish cabinetmaker Carl Hansen opened a small furniture
workshop on the island of Funen. Over the years, the success of our family business has
depended on two core principles: an uncompromising commitment to traditional craftsmanship
and alliances with exceptional designers who continually define the concept of modern design.
For over 110 years, we have specialised in bringing visionary design concepts to life. Our long-
standing goal passed down through generations of the Hansen family remains to gather the best
modern furniture designs under one roof and to share these icons with the world.
We continue to emphasise the importance of balancing classic craftsmanship with innovative
modern technology, establishing new relationships with the families of designers from the 20th
century and elevating the work of new talent.
HANS J. WEGNER
Renowned for his playful shapes, great insight into craftsmanship and
uncompromising approach to functionality, Hans J. Wegner’s (1914-
2007) never-ending curiosity about natural materials, deep respect for
the nature and inherent potential of wood fueled him throughout his
entire career.
BØRGE MOGENSEN
The democratic furniture designs of Børge Mogensen (1914-1972)
represent a subtle aesthetic with emphasis on strong constructions
and lasting materials that act as decoration. Mogensen insisted on
designing furniture that placed humans at the center, and that could
adapt to people’s changing needs throughout a lifetime.
