Furniture icons from Fritz Hansen arrive at DesignVille

The renowned brand Fritz Hansen, full of timeless icons, arrives at DesignVille and expands the range of the e-shop and showroom, which offers the best of Scandinavian design. The Danish brand, also known as the Republic of Fritz Hansen, is famous for its close collaboration with leading designers and boasts a number of world-renowned furniture and lighting collections.

More than a century of successful collaborations

The brand's history dates back to 1872 when carpenter Fritz Hansen decided to leave his hometown and start his own furniture manufacturing business in Copenhagen. It didn't take long for the company to gain a foothold in the industry, primarily due to successful partnerships with architects and designers, including giants of Danish classicism such as Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm, and Jørn Utzon, as well as leading contemporary designers like Jaime Hayon and Cecilie Manz.

Treasures of Danish modernism

The collaboration between Fritz Hansen and the world-renowned architect and designer Arne Jacobsen was particularly fruitful. His iconic collections are examples of timelessness, quality, and exclusivity—qualities that form the core philosophy of Fritz Hansen. The chairs Ant, Series 7, Grand Prix, and Drop, as well as the immortal Egg chairs and Swan chairs, are among the most famous pieces of furniture ever. The designer armchairs from the PK collection by Poul Kjærholm, typically combining steel with other natural materials, are also worth mentioning.

Contemporary design

Fritz Hansen continues to collaborate with leading design personalities today. The collection of chairs Ro and Fri by Spanish designer, architect, and artist Jaime Hayon embodies the sculptural approach to design that is characteristic of the brand.

The emphasis on precise craftsmanship and unique design is also reflected in the extensive range of lighting. Many of them—such as the iconic Caravaggio collection by designer Cecilie Manz—come from the portfolio of the Lightyears brand, which became part of Fritz Hansen in 2015. Similarly, the brand took under its wing the production of the Kaiser & Co company with the Kaiser Idell lighting collection.

Fritz Hansen thus joins the list of leading Scandinavian brands available at DesignVille, from which every lover of design classics and the best of new furniture, lighting, and accessory collections can choose.
