Introduction

No matter what era a design comes from, whether from the golden age of Danish Design or from the first decades of the 21st Century, we believe that every piece of furniture and every handcrafted lamp produced by Carl Hansen & Søn comes with a unique and meaningful story. Every piece tells a story about the strength and beauty of nature, a story of a designer with a vision to combine elegance with practicality, a story of craftspeople passionate about both tradition and innovation. And, of course, once a piece of furniture leaves our factory and finds its way into someone’s home or business, an entirely new story begins. In the pages that follow, we have gathered stories connected to the life of the timeless objects that we make. From Ilse Crawford’s reimagination of Hans J. Wegner’s five first masterpieces, to the collaboration between DUX and Carl Hansen & Søn in creation of a bed designed by Børge Mogensen, to the story of the science behind the furniture from Kaare Klint, to EOOS’ vision of comfort in different heights, and stories of all Carl Hansen & Søn’s new furniture and lighting, each is a story about creativity and craftsmanship. These are also stories about passion and the search for beauty and the importance of making things that last.

Welcome to The Storyteller.

This publication is FSC® certified and printed in an environmentally friendly printhouse. The publication is printed on Munken Lynx and is produced in Sweden at one of the cleanest production facilities inthe world using only half of the water that other paper factories use. The water is biologically cleaned and is so pure after the first purification, that it can be used as drinking water. The paper mills are FSC® and PEFCTM certified, and the same goes for the Munken Lynx. The main raw material for paper is wood, which is a renewable resource that takes up and binds CO2 as the forests grow.

Continuing our sustainable agenda, the latest additions to our collection comply with our never-changing commitment to present long-lasting objects made from responsibly produced materials. Emerging designers offer a modern perspective on traditional idioms while designs by renowned pioneers of Danish design have been reimagined in modern hues and shapes, prolonging its lifetime and relevancy for current generations.
