Danish furniture design has been recognised worldwide for its unique approach, characterised by simplicity, functionality and superior craftsmanship. Wicker furniture is an area of Danish design history that has recently seen a surge in demand. Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen, recognised author and expert in Danish furniture art and design history, has recently published the book 'Fletværk - Historien om de danske kurvemøbler 1830-2020', and in connection with our large exhibition in Bredgade with Danish wicker furniture, we have had the pleasure of shedding light on the history of Danish wicker furniture with an interview with Birgit.

The Septima Pendant was developed in 1927-31 and was first time exhibited at Kunstindustrimuseet (now Designmuseum Danmark) in September 1928 in a prototype version. Here it received several positive reviews in the press, although PH did not see the lamp as finished yet. Read the whole story here.

Good design does not have to be complicated. Poul Kjærholm and Jørgen Høj's shown 'JH-106' lounge chair are a good example of this. Kjærholm was only 25 years old when he, in collaboration with his good friend, Jørgen Høj, designed the chair for master cabinetmaker Thorald Madsen.
