When you step into the headquarters of Fritz Hansen in Allerod,
northwest of Copenhagen, you breathe in the spirit of a company
that has made design history. The showroom, a mecca for students of
design and architecture, displays pieces that have become icons,
including the Series 7 chair, the Swan lounge chair, and the
Lissoni sofa. A recurring theme in the history of the Danish
furniture maker is its collaborations with big-name visionary
designers like Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjaerholm, and Piero Lissoni.
With these influxes of fresh energy and an unwavering commitment to
Fritz Hansen's core values of creativity, the finest craftsmanship,
and the utmost attention to even the smallest details, the company
has succeeded in placing its products in the collective
consciousness of humanity as well as in the offices of the
President of the UN General Assembly, the Crown Plaza Hotel in
Bangkok, the Banquet Hall of Oxford's venerable St. Catherine's
College, New York's Museum of Modern Art, and private homes all
over the world. With over 150 breathtaking photos, this
thoughtfully designed coffee table book recounts the history of an
exclusive brand, the marvellous pieces of furniture that has made
it so revered, and provides examples of how a single piece of
furniture can beautify an entire room or building, and fire the
imagination of those who live there. Whether you're leaving the
world of Fritz Hansen in Allerod or closing this book, it will be
with a wealth of new creative ideas and the knowledge that before
sustainability became a trendy buzzword, Fritz Hansen was already
practicing it in its purest sense, true to its motto of "Crafting
Timeless Design".
