Ankjær’s son Knud Andreasen took over the company in 1983, however Ankjær still continued his daily “inspection” rounds in the company until his death in 1997. The story of our company begins in 1942 when Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of baskets, lamps, flower tables and other smaller interior items made of rush and willow. In the 1950s he expanded his production to...

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. He had dreams of becoming a painter, but as fate would have it, Jacobsen was admitted to the Architecture School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1924. As one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers, Arne Jacobsen’s legacy is his great contribution to architectural functionalism as well as his many simple, but effective chair designs. Still a student in 1925, Jacobsen participated in the Paris Art Deco fair Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes and...

Nanna Ditzel graduated as a furniture designer in 1946 at Design School Copenhagen, at the age of just 23. Prior to her graduation as furniture designer, she was educated as a cabinetmaker - a background that...

A NATURAL AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL Rattan is a climbing plant that grows as a vine in the rainforest. The vines have been known to grow up to hundreds of metres long. Rattan grows naturally without disturbing the existing structure and balance in the rainforest while at the same time cleaning the air by transforming CO2 into clean air. As rattan grows by climbing the trees in the rainforest, it is important to preserve the trees in order to preserve the rattan production. This means that rattan indirectly helps to preserve the rainforest in Indonesia. It is the fastest growing tropical wood...
