Established in 1872 in Copenhagen, and named after its founder, Fritz Hansen is an international design brand, proud of their tradition of creating furniture and lighting of exquisite craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design. The first fifty years of the company were defined by a long list of prestigious contracts that included producing furniture for the Danish Parliament and Supreme Court at Christiansborg Palace, the University Library, Copenhagen City Hall, and other significant institutions. Fritz Hansen’s philosophy is that a single piece of furniture or lighting can beautify an entire room or building and heighten the well-being of the people who inhabit these spaces. Now their collections consist of world-famous classics and contemporary products within furniture, lighting, and accessories.
Fritz Hansen is not only dedicated to creating timeless design, but they are also dedicated to always delivering the best possible quality. In this way, the customer will be offered the best possible experience. Each design is tested thoroughly and according to detailed guidelines, which are developed especially for the individual design. The brand works with internationally recognised designers and architects to develop and manufacture high-quality modern lighting which combines progressive and timeless aesthetics, tangibly expressed through functional design and refined lighting technology. The result is a series of iconic pieces that stand the test of time and can be seen in private and commercial interiors around the globe. Amongst Fritz Hansen's lighting collection is their instant design icon the Caravaggio Pendant and the classic Orient Pendant, created by Jo Hammerborg in 1963 and relaunched in 2013.
