ARNE JACOBSEN
One of Denmark’s best-known architects, Arne Jacobsen (1902-
1971), has become synonymous with modernism throughout
the world. Striving for an ideal balance of organic simplicity and
functionalism, his precise yet expressive aesthetic continues to
excite design enthusiasts to this day.
VILHELM LAURITZEN
With the aim to design playful spaces and organic shapes that could
surprise and please his audience at the same time, Vilhelm Lauritzen
(1894-1984) often worked on creating an all-encompassing work of art
in which he could express his ideas of both the interior and the exterior
in a single, organic concept.
RIKKE FROST
Danish designer Rikke Frost (b. 1973) is guided
by her manifest “Minimal, Magical, Mindful”,
which creates the red thread in all her works.
Known for combining various craft traditions
and types of materials, her portfolio of
contemporary designs utilises the past to lead
us into future.
BODIL KJÆR
Focusing on the construction of furniture
from a functional, economic, and aesthetic
perspective - always in interplay with modern
architecture, Bodil Kjær (b. 1932) aims to
create “architectural elements” that adapt to
the changing needs of people.
KAARE KLINT
As a pioneer of functionalism, Kaare Klint (1888-1954)
emphasised the study of proportions, analysing the
dimensions of the human body with the purpose to refine the
functionality of his furniture designs. Throughout his career,
Klint kept refining his design approach based on mathematics
and geometry rather than feelings and looks.
EOOS
The designs of EOOS (est. 1995) derive from their
Poetical Analysis® approach; a unique process that
focuses on myths, rituals, and intuitive expressions, as a
research tool to solve complex design challenges. With
their poetical starting point, EOOS strives to design
furniture that reacts with an open mind to the users’
evolving needs and wants.
