Large set of 6 dining Chairs

by Fritz Hansen, Denmark 1930-40's

The history of Fritz Hansen begins in 1872, where the enterprising cabinet maker Fritz Hansen obtains a trade license in Copenhagen. 1885 is a decisive year for the Nakskov native and he opens a furniture production company in his own name. Just two years later, his workshop in Christianshavn is thriving. From here, Fritz and his son Christian create high-quality furniture that will continue to define Fritz Hansen in the future.

The first fifty years of the company are defined by a long list of prestigious contracts that include producing furniture for the Danish Parliament and Supreme Court at Christiansburg Palace, the University Library, Copenhagen City Hall and other significant institutions.

At the turn of the century, Fritz’s forward-thinking son, Christian, begins to experiment with steam-bending techniques. During this decade, the technique is refined to make Fritz Hansen a world leader in moulded and laminate wood furniture.

Looking to German Functionalism, Scandinavian design comes into its own with a lighter, more practical approach that profiles clean lines and function.

Fritz Hansen launches the very first Danish steel furniture as well as the iconic Church chair by Kaare Klint, which remains in the Fritz Hansen collection until 2004.
