First Day Tour.

The furniture students went on a study tour to the surrounding Danish furniture factories on July 1, 2010. We visited the following: PP Furniture, Fritz Hansen Furniture, Bagsvaerd Church, and Grundtvigs Church.


PP Furniture
A family owned Danish joinery workshop established in 1953 with a strong tradition for crafting design furniture of high quality. The sole purpose of PP Mobler is to create beautiful and functional furniture that can withstand daily use for generations.


A second generation Mobler giving us a tour of his families shop.


An amazing success in using steam to bend this wood piece.



Placed veneerer in the wood for decoration. PP Furniture pays close attention to detail in all of their furniture. Very inspiring.


Me sitting in the Teddy Bear Chair (designed by Hans J. Wagner in 1951)...very comfortable.

Fritz Hansen Furniture
The Republic of Fritz Hansen
The name REpublic of Fritz Hansen captures the entire 137-year history of the company. From the founder, visionary cabinet maker Fritz Hansen, to the architects and designers, creators of furniture, prized and coveted the world over. The history is all about being open to new currents, about thinking big and outside the box, about development and renewal in line with one's own principle and origins.
