Fritz Hansen

The history of Fritz Hansen begins in 1872, when Fritz Hansen registered as a cabinet-maker in Copenhagen. 1885 is a decisive year, when he starts a furniture production company of his own and two years later he has managed to establish a flourishing workshop in Christianshavn – a central part of Copenhagen. Fritz and his son Christian initiated the high quality level, which has been the trademark of Fritz Hansen’s products ever since.

Arne Jacobsen totally dominates the Fifties at Fritz Hansen and Verner Panton the Seventies.

The introduction of the concept Republic of Fritz Hansen™ marks a change in strategy. The message is that furniture from the Republic of Fritz Hansen is an important part of the image of companies and private customers, who want to express their individuality and make unique statements.
