Design duo Hvidt & Mølgaard, formed by Peter Hvidt (1916–1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907–1993), was a pioneer of Danish mid-century design. The Copenhagen-based studio Hvidt & Mølgaard became famous for numerous refined furniture designs that are now known as icons of their era. Hvidt & Mølgaard’s designs combine a respect for traditional crafting methods with a forward-thinking approach to modern techniques and mass-production. Today, their work is exhibited in numerous museums, including New York’s MoMA and Melbourne’s National Gallery.
