Carl Hansen & Søn – Danish design history since 1908
The story of Carl Hansen & Søn dates back to 1908 when Danish cabinetmaker Carl Hansen founded his own workshop in Odense, on the island of Funen. Over the decades, the company has grown from a small carpentry workshop into an internationally renowned manufacturer of designer furniture. From the very beginning, Carl Hansen & Søn has focused on respecting high-quality Danish woodworking and collaborating with skilled designers.
World-renowned designers
Carl Hansen & Søn has collaborated with many renowned Danish designers, including Hans J. Wegner, Nanna Ditzel and Børge Mogensen. These designers have left a lasting mark on the brand's identity and design. Contemporary designers, such as Ilse Crawford and EOOS, have also been invited to create new classics.
Carl Hansen & Søn is particularly known for its classic furniture, such as the chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner. Wegner's Wishbone chair is one of the most famous chairs in the world and perfectly represents the brand's philosophy: combining esthetics, comfort and durability. Other significant products include the Huntsman chair by Børge Mogensen and the Colonial series by Ole Wanscher, both of which have achieved iconic status in modern design.
