CARL HANSEN & SØN
Rikke Frost Rikke Frost trained as an industrial designer at The Aarhus School of Architecture. Rikke Frost chose to focus on furniture design, but industrial design has influenced her design process, with production options always forming part of her initial consideration. She chooses materials, shapes and craft methods that can be incorporated in the best possible way into modern production – like at Carl Hansen & Søn’s furniture factory where old craft traditions such as wickerwork with woven paper cord and a high-tech production go hand in hand.
Danish designer Rikke Frost has always been curious about the combination of different craft traditions and types of material, which holds true in the Sideways Sofa – the first collaboration with Carl Hansen & Søn. Here, she blends classic materials such as woven paper cord and wood in a modern and functional design.
