The articulation endeavour explored the synergy betwixt Ditzel’s vision together with Krüger’s practiced craftsmanship, much inwards the spirit of Brdr. Krüger’s kernel values that withal be today. The Arkade Chair exemplifies Ditzel’s signature of elegant geometries together with fondness for soft circular shapes, expressed amongst recurring arches, so the advert Arkade (the Danish give-and-take for Arcade) together with a nod to classic architecture.
Keel past times Erik Jørgensen
Keel is a novel java tabular array designed past times Lise Vester for Erik Jørgensen. Inspired past times a life nigh the ocean, merely similar a boat the tabular array features its ain keel, providing a beautiful pattern item below the tabletop.
"I was raised inwards the western component of Denmark, past times the beautiful W coast, together with nature hither has played a meaning role inwards my life. The many sailing together with line-fishing trips amongst my solid unit of measurement on the body of body of water bring inspired me to advert the tabular array ‘Keel’, together with to pattern a tabular array that was inspired past times elements of a boat”. —Lise Vester

Available inwards several finishes included lather treated, crude oil treated, lacquered, smoked or dark painted, this tabular array is genuinely beautiful!
An Arne Jacobsen original designed amongst elegance together with functionality, the AJ Trolley is the latest re-discovery together with development to saltation from the rich depths of the Fritz Hansen archive.

Now, to a greater extent than than 50 years later, the pattern offers endless possibilities together with fits seamlessly inwards a contemporary setting. Used equally a bar cart, serving trolley or side table, the mobile tabular array is versatile amongst a sophisticated, architectural edge. The Fritz Hansen pattern squad considers this slice a hidden jewel inside Jacobsen’s portfolio.
‘Simply put, this slice volition ever hold out stylish,’ says Christian Andresen, Head of Design at Fritz Hansen. ‘It was merely waiting to come upward hold out again.’ While the combination of steel together with dark colored Ash makes this pattern cool, minimal, together with distinctly Danish, the proportions – Jacobsen’s obsession – are perfection.
