Poul Henningsen
Ohe of the greatest lighting designers of all time, Poul Henningsen studied building techniques at the Tekniste Højskole (School of Technology), Copenhagen, from 1911 to 1014, and then architecture at the Polyteknisk Læreanstalt (Polytechnic) from 1914 to 1917. While studying architecture he designed his first chandelier as part of an interior design project. After leaving the Polyteknisk, having not sat his final exam, Henningsen worked as a, reviewer for the art journal Vor Tid and as co-editor of the art periodical Klingen from 1917 to 1921For a short period at the beginning of WWII, he was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation but soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine “NYT”. The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to PH as a gift because he had been terminated from the Danish newspaper he worked for (his opinions were too radical). Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction—compared to man’s need for light remains the fondation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting.

Floor lamp & Table lamp
The AJ Floor lamp was designed, among other lighting fixtures, for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The standard lamp consists of a lampholder in an enameled brass pipe. A tilting mechanism has been installed in the pipe. The angles of the conic metal shade are made to be flush with the lampholder at the top, at least that was the intention, but in reality it is raised a little as an optical correction. When the lamp is tilted downwards, the edge is horizontal. The inside of the shade is matt white enamel. The light source is effectively screened for diffused lighting. Using a clear incandescent bulb the light is exploited the best way and the the light rays delineated preciesly. The standard lamp consists of a lampholder in an enameled brass pipe.

4-leg ant chair
Despite its minimalist and svelte form, the Ant chair by Arne Jacobsen is extremely comfortable due to its shell design while achieving a beauty and elegance which has made Jacobsen's first stacking chair one of his best-known designs. Although a revolutionary design, the Ant was not an immediate hit when first launched by Fritz Hansen in 1952. The chair had only 3 legs and no arms! 
Tumblr media
The back and seat are made of one piece of laminated wood with 9 layers of molded veneer and 2 layers of cotton textile in-between. The lamination process coupled with the qualities inherent in the wood make the Ant flexible enough to adjust to the body's contours and movements. The Ant is a stackable, wooden chair on a thin chrome or satin chrome steel base with a choice of either natural wood veneer or colors in lacquer or lazur. Available in your choice of two heights.

Arne Jacobsen
(born 1902 Copenhagen - died 1971 Copenhagen, Denmark) The most celebrated postwar Danish architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen initially trained as a mason at the Skolen for Brugskunst (School of Applied Arts), Copenhagen, from where he graduated in 1924. He went on to study architecture at the Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi (Royal Danih Academy of Fine Arts) Copenhagen and graduated in 1927. This combination of practical and artistic training enabled Jacobsen to later produce buildings, interiors, and many different types of product designs that elegantly balanced function with aesthetics. Following the completion of his studies, he worked as an assistant in the City Architect's Office (Paul Holsøe) in Copenhagen until 1929. While there, he designed a music pavilion, shelters, and entrance gates for Enghave Park in Copenhagen. His early work has influenced by Modernists cuch as Le Corbusier, Erik Gunnar Asplund and Ludwig Miles van der Rohe.
Tumblr media
Jacobsen became one of the fist designers to introduce Modernism to Denmark through his projects such as the circular House of the Future, which featured all mod cons including a helicopter landing pad on the roof, and which he co-designed with Flemming Lasses for the building and  housing exhibition held by Copenhagen's Academic Architects' Association in 1929. For this project, Jacobsen designed several pieces of tubular metal furniture that were aesthetically suited to their Modernist surroundings. Around 1930, he established his own design office in Hellerup and began practising independently as an architect and interior designer. Aside from his architectural work, from 1945 onwards Jacobsen also designed furniture for industrial mass production. His greatest successes in this field were his Ant chairs (1951-1952) and Series 7 chairs (1955), both designed for Fritz Hansen.

Kay Bojesen
Kay Bojesen graduated as a silversmith in 1910 after completing his apprenticeship at Georg Jensen. He embraced the movement towards functionalism in Danish crafts by co-founding 'Den Permanente' - a showcase retail shop featuring the best in Danish design.
In the 1930's he explored his passion for wood. Creating animals that matched his belief that a product should be 'round and soft and feel good in your hand'. The lines in a design should 'smile'. And his animals should never be an exact replica of nature.
Tumblr media
With all of these beliefs in mind, Kay Bojesen has created treasured and beloved characters that appeal to the child within us all. Their easy expressions have brought joy to many the world over.
1932 - Opens his own shop and studio in Amalieborg.
1934 - Designs the dog
1935 - Original sketch for a zebra: carved in wood and hand painted.
1936 - The Rocking Horse is made of beech and is lacquered.
1942 - Royal Guardsman standing guard at Amalienborg.
1951 - The teak and limba Monkey is proof of Kay Bojesen's belief that the 'lines in a product should smile'. 1952 - Designs The Bear and is appointed to Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court. 1953 - Designs The Elephant in oak. 1954 - The Sea Parrot, designed in two sizes, is hand painted. 1955 - The Hippo serves as a pencil holder.

Over time, Iittala has expanded from glass to other materials, such as ceramics and metal while keeping with their key philosophy of progressive elegant and timeless design, such as Kaj Franck’s Teema ceramic tableware from 1952 and Timo Sarpaneva’s cast iron pot Sarpaneva from 1960.
Iittala focuses on timeless design which can be seen not only in older creations but in the modern classics[citation needed] such as cookware Tools designed by Björn Dahlström in 1998; Heikki Orvola’s Kivi candleholders from 1988; Alfredo Häberli’s ceramic Origo tableware designed in 1999 and the Essence glasses from 2001; Anu Penttinen’s Vitriini from 2010 and the tableware Sarjaton using ceramic, glass, wood and textile as materials, designed by Harri Koskinen, Aleksi Kuokka, Musuta and Samuji in 2012.
