AH Outdoor Series
Simplicity, clarity, and logic were the guiding design principles for the Danish architect Alfred Homann during the development of the AH Outdoor Series, where all superfluous details were eliminated in favor of simple expression and high functionality.
The AH Outdoor Series features a rigorous aesthetic paired with Homann’s sense of soft shapes – as evidenced in the beautifully curved armrests, backrests, and seats, where the braces elegantly grip the frame. These joints are meticulously polished by hand by skilled craftsmen to achieve a soft and tactile surface. A beautiful series to look at when not in use and functional to maneuver outdoors, exemplifying Homann’s attention to detail and understanding of form and function.

Alfred Homann was a multi-award-winning Danish architect and designer. He graduated as an architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1976 and after spending some years as a student working with different Danish and American Architects, he founded his own studio in 1978 at 30 years old.
Simplicity, clarity, and logic were always the most important parameters for Homann. His keen eye for detail is evident in everything he designed. Homann created furniture, lighting, and architectural projects at museums, railway stations, private residences, and public buildings – everything with great precision and thoroughness.
In 1987, Homann established Homann Design Inc. in the United States, where he worked on different projects in addition to his Copenhagen studio. He traveled the world, giving lectures and presentations in the USA, Japan, Russia, and Europe.
