STEP INSIDE THIS NEW YORK APARTMENT

Soren Rose’s design for this Park Avenue Penthouse is unforgettable.

The 6,000 square foot Gramercy residence combines traditional Scandinavian design with industrial and cotemporary New York.

With remarkable elements like a dark verde alpi marble wall sourced from the same quarry that Mies Van der Rohe got his marble from for Bracelona Pavilion, this project is thoughtful to the core. It bridges past to present with easy elegance and reflects a deep appreciation for context and detail.

The Egg™ chair by Arne Jacobsen is a staple of Danish design with organic curves that take on different ethos in every leather, fabric and colour. It is recognized worldwide as an essential modern design, one of the triumphs of Jacobsen’s legendary career, and a technical achievement in craftsmanship.

THE ALCHEMIST

Last summer Chef Rasmus Munk’s reborn restaurant The Alchemist set the global food scene abuzz. The experience was called ‘revolutionary’, even ‘magical’ by some.

The Copenhagen restaurant has shown its staying power and continues to welcome guests with a fusion of creative culinary art, theatre and unforgettable design. All high-impact. All extraordinary. 

FRITZ HANSEN RO™ CHAIRS IN THE BALCONY AT THE ALCHEMIST

Fritz Hansen’s Ro™ chairs were selected for the Balcony, the final stage of the Alchemist experience. High back chairs put guests at ease during coffee and final bites. The goal was to design a space where people can discuss the experience they’ve just shared.

VALENTINE’S DAY

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

The Ikebana Vase by Jaime Hayon is a lovely gift with flowers for a creative sweetheart on Valentine’s.

Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging, Ikebana vases by Jaime Hayon honour every flower placed within them.

The result is fresh and modern arrangements that stand out. The design concept is meditation on nature’s beauty and creativity.

Both the act of arranging and of sharing arrangements with others feeds the soul.

Ikebana vases come in three sizes.

SEASONLESS STYLE: ‘THE WALK’ by CARCEL

A week before CARCEL’s opening show, founder Veronica d'Souza spoke to Fritz Hansen about the company’s journey and what customers can continue to expect from the brand's designs.Our conversation with the brand began with timeless design, as we provided seating for their first runway show. 

CARCEL is a fashion company that dares to value craftsmanship and operates according to its own high standards. It designs are timeless and seasonless, made from natural materials that are local to its production centres. CARCEL owns its own machines and employs women in a Peruvian and Thai prison, overseeing its supply chain and production. There isn’t a detail too small to ignore, and this year they were selected to open Copenhagen Fashion Week with a focus on sustainability. 

Veronica believes the brand’s ‘slow fashion’ approach is what sets it apart. The days of ignoring workers’ realities and the climate crisis are over.

MATERIALS MERGE

An elegant side table by Danish architect Mette Schelde integrates wood and glass seamlessly. Wood and glass merge smoothly within this unique table design. Inspired by landscapes of wood stumps, Stub (which means ‘stump’ in Danish) has a clear glass circle that floats around the base with no visible screws or mountings.

‘I wanted the assemblage between the two materials to generate a functional, even tabletop with a light expression,’ says Danish designer Mette Schelde. ‘It required several experiments during the design process to master this assembling detail.’

Stub is available in lacquered oak, lacquered ash, and black coloured ash.

MARK TAN ON GOOD DESIGN

The Copenhagen-based fashion designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan talks about what constitutes good design.

What is ‘good’ design? Many have attempted to answer this question, but not Mark Tan. “It’s dangerous to be the judge of what constitutes good design. Good design is subjective, so you can’t judge or quantify its virtue. It doesn’t really serve a purpose to divide design into good and bad, as all design is, in some way, useful or meaningful to someone.”

PLANNER™ SHELVING

Designed by the late Paul McCobb – a pioneer of contemporary democratic design whose creations filled homes across the world with lasting, quality design – Fritz Hansen’s Planner™ Shelving series combines his signature graphic aesthetic with an elegant expression. 

Details such as the narrowing of the welted steel by the ‘feet’ of the base is how one can recognise a genuine McCobb design.

DETAILS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Skilled Fritz Hansen upholsterers create Swan™ chairs by hand.

Hand stitching requires intense focus, physical strength, and delicacy.

It takes each expert approximately 4 – 8 hours to upholster a Swan™ chair by hand, depending on the fabric or the leather used.

Arne Jacobsen designed the Swan™ as well as the Egg™ chair for the lobby and lounge areas of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958.

The commission to design every element of the building, including the furniture, was Jacobsen’s opportunity to put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice.

A ROMANTIC TWIST

Italian velvet adds a soft, elegant touch to the iconic Series 7™ by Arne Jacobsen.

‘Popular colours give this iconic design an update. Doing so in velvet adds to its relevancy,’ says Fritz Hansen’s Head of Design, Christian Andresen.

Fritz Hansen’s design team has selected cotton velvet by Redaelli Velluti in 10 vibrant colours. Powder coated steel legs in Brown Bronze compliment the velvets upholstery, adding subtlety and depth.

The combination of the Series 7™ design and velvet upholstery strikes a delicate balance between formality and simplicity, form and function, past and future.

It can be used as a noteworthy accent chair or simple, luxurious seating for modern dining. The possibilities are endless.

The Series 7™ velvet measures 50,000 Martindale, meaning it is highly resistant to damage or crushing. Both sides of the chair are upholstered with maximum care and consideration for wear and longevity.

Wood used for the shell is certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) ensuring it comes from forests that are managed with respect to ecological, social and ethical standards.

SCULPTURAL LIGHTING

‘The pendant was inspired by the silhouette of waterdrops gliding down a window.’ says Gry Hammerborg, one of the designer’s two daughters.

Jo Hammerborg’s beautiful Silhuet pendant is characterised by soft – almost hypnotising – lines and warm, solid brass. The surface is uncoated and, thus, patinates over time. Its simple form makes the possibilities of application endless – at work, for dining, in kitchens or living rooms. In polished or brushed brass variants, this timeless design will age beautifully, gaining sophistication and character over the years. A design this versatile is as rare as the versatility of the man behind it, the multi-talented Jo Hammerborg.

Fritz Hansen reissues the Silhuet lighting design in celebration of the Danish designer Jo Hammerborg’s 100th anniversary. In homage, Hammerborg’s signature and a 100-year tag are inscribed inside every solid brass pendant.

The Orient™ pendant is a flawless light design with great luminous efficacy and made from the finest quality materials. The pendant was created by Jo Hammerborg in 1963 and relaunched by Fritz Hansen in 2013.

The fitting elegantly conceals the low energy light source and ensures a soft, pleasant light without any glare. The Orient lamp shade is hand spun in a wooden mould, a feature that underlines the original, organic shape and true craftsmanship of this pendant.

Bold in style and personality, Danish silversmith Jo Hammerborg devoted his life strictly to the causes and crafts he cared about. His extraordinary career saw him participate in Denmark’s resistance and struggle for freedom in 1940-45 as a saboteur, study at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and work as a silversmith at prestigious Danish jewellery maker Georg Jensen. He was also a prolific designer, and his 23-year stint as chief designer at lamp manufacturer Fog & Mørup was widely considered the most creative of his career.

MADE WITH CARE

With two artist parents, Cecilie Manz encountered the world of design in early childhood in their workshop. Her own career began in 1992 with an academic education from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Following a semester abroad at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Manz started her own company, which has been the focus of her work ever since.

She has produced a number of furniture, accessory and lighting designs exclusively for Fritz Hansen, through a collaboration which began in 2009.

‘It was important to me that the rugs could go with Fritz Hansen''s more classic pieces as well as the contemporary collection.

The large, calm carpet in colourless tones creates a quiet space together with a couple of poufs or an iconic chair.

The small carpets with intense colour do well alone, like a colour spill on the floor,’ says Manz.

‘With these rugs, the woollen textile material is perfect for deep, intense colour tones. It has depth and rich variation to it.

Various tufting heights within each design make these rugs subtly three dimensional and tactually interesting. Each rug is handtufted in India and coloured with acid-free dye. Proceeds from cc-tapis production support children’s education in Nepal.

POUF LIMITED EDITION

The firm pouf is an essential when complete relaxation is on the agenda, or when you need that extra seating in the living room. This sophisticated pouf by Cecilie Manz decorates and lends space a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.

The top of this Limited Edition Pouf is Dusty Rose Nubuck leather, an aniline, natural grained leather with a velvet-like touch that will become lighter and more smooth with use.

BEAUTIFUL FUNCTION

Beauty and function converge in a stylish veneer stacking chair by Fritz Hansen.

Fritz Hansen reissues the Vico Duo chair in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Vico Magistretti’s birth. Magistretti designed the chair in 1997, sitting among his sketches in Fritz Hansen’s design department. He was keen to collaborate with Fritz Hansen and leverage its expertise and tradition in veneer.

The chair is simple with tight lines. A loose ‘z’ line drawn across paper inspired the chair’s backward armrests – an unusual element that intentionally balances the design. The armrests and back legs are one piece of steel – another unique aspect of the design. 

‘This chair was, from the beginning, a true collaboration between Fritz Hansen and Vico Magistretti. By 1997, Magistretti was confident and relaxed in his practice and career. The design has a kind of simple ease and strength that reflects that,’ says Christian Andresen, Fritz Hansen’s Head of Design.

Available for purchase now.

A COMPANION TABLE

‘Simply put, this piece will always be stylish,’ says Christian Andresen, Head of Design at Fritz Hansen. ‘It was just waiting to come alive again.’

The combination of steel and black coloured Ash make this design cool, minimal and distinctly Danish. The proportions – Jacobsen’s obsession – are perfection. The original wheel design has been carefully recreated for authenticity. Construction parts in the ball bearing have been changed to strengthen the construction and tested up to very high standards. The wheel colour is custom made, and wheel mechanics ensure durability and a very noticeably smooth roll.

Danish designer Arne Jacobsen designed this elegant trolley for his tea, but its possibilities are endless. As a bar cart, serving trolley or side table, the mobile design is versatile with a sophisticated, architectural edge. Best of all, it will remain ‘modern’ – and always useful – for decades to come.

Arne Jacobsen (b.1902-1971) was a visionary of Danish design and began collaborating with Fritz Hansen in 1934. He designed the Egg™, Swan™, Series7™ and Dot™, among other iconic works.
