Attention, design lovers! Your wait is over: these cherished pieces from Fritz Hansen have just landed in Finnish Design Shop. Experience the beauty of Scandinavian design with their classic furniture, adding timeless elegance to every corner of your home.
WELCOME, FRITZ HANSEN! We're excited to announce that some cherished classic products from Fritz Hansen, a pioneer in furniture design, are now available in Finnish Design Shop. For over 150 years, this beloved Danish brand has captivated design enthusiasts both in Denmark and around the globe.
The story began in 1872 when carpenter Fritz Hansen established a furniture factory bearing his name in Copenhagen. Since those early days, the Danish company has been dedicated to developing innovative manufacturing techniques to create stylish and timeless furniture.
So, what makes Fritz Hansen's furniture such cherished classics? There are many reasons, but let's list a few: the graceful and sleek design, versatile ways of use, and of course, the high-quality materials that withstand time, maintaining their appearance year after year – or developing a charming patina that makes them look even better!
One of Fritz Hansen's best-known designers was Arne Jacobsen, who joined the company in the 1930s. The true breakthrough came a couple of decades later when Jacobsen's Ant chair was released in 1952. The iconic chair was originally designed for the canteen of the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk.
In addition to the Ant chair, Jacobsen introduced several other classics. Among these is the versatile Series 7 3107 chair developed from the Ant chair as manufacturing technologies advanced. Available in countless color and upholstery options, the Series 7 chair is still the best-selling product in Fritz Hansen's history.
Although Jacobsen was a master in designing office and dining chairs, he also created seating for the honest pleasure-seekers. Designed in 1958, the Egg lounge chair is one of the greatest icons of Scandinavian design, and it got its iconic, eggshell-like shape after Jacobsen's experiments with plaster and metal wire in his garage.
Those looking for a slightly more supportive relaxation will be delighted with Jacobsen's Swan chair. Swan is a graceful – someone might even say swan-like – armchair with a design that doesn't have a single straight line.
In addition to different kinds of chairs, Fritz Hansen offers a diverse range of furniture. The Lissoni collection, designed by the Italian designer and architect Piero Lissoni, features sofas and armchairs that bring Scandinavian simplicity to living rooms and lobbies.
Finally, let’s toast to the tables! Fritz Hansen's selections bring a dash of style and a whole lot of function to your living room and kitchen with a wide range of coffee and dining tables.
Paul McCobb's Planner coffee table is perfect for holding both your morning coffee and your heart-to-heart late-night chats; while the Superellipse dining table hosts dinner parties and completes the décor with a touch of Scandinavian flair.
