A history of one of the most important institutions in Danish furniture design culture, the Fritz Hansen company which started as a family carpenter and furniture manufacturer in 1847 in a small Danish town. The Fritz Hansen firm worked closely from the beginning with architects to develop new furniture design, and the 100-year cooperation has led to very high standards and set many precedents for the concept of “ œDanish Design“ . The book also features several other significant designers of furniture, and presents them in relation to developments in building design and corporate culture since the turn of the century. Includes Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen, Piet Hein, Poul Kjærholm and Verner Panton.
