Designers
Behind every lamp and chair in our collection there is a designer, a workshop and a story. Here we trace the designers and manufacturers who shaped Scandinavian design from the 1950s to the 1970s: where they trained, what they made, and how to recognise their work today. Each profile leads to the pieces currently waiting in the shop.
