PRESS CLIPPINGS 1949-2008 FOREWORD In 1949 Fritz Hansen started appearing in the Danish media as a successful manufacturer of furniture that had grown from a small local carpentry to a large scale factory. Fritz Hansen, known for being at the forefront of manufacturing techniques of its time, began a collaboration with the Danish mastermind of architect, Arne Jacobsen which resulted in a successful partnership that escalated their media presence worldwide. Especially Jacobsen’s designs; the Egg, Swan and stacking chairs originally created for the business sector, were soon being advertised in international lifestyle magazines such as House & Garden, Ideal Home, Casa Viva and Bo Bedre in the 50’s,60’s and 70’s as sources of inspiration to home owners. As the media hype developed, so did the demand for Jacobsen’s designs. Fritz Hansen was now being reported in the media as exporters of furniture worldwide. Royalty, celebrities and models were being photographed in the Arne Jacobsen designs which naturally led to design status worldwide. Today Fritz Hansen continues to live up to their reputation as a manufacturer of high quality, exclusive furniture design by working together with new and upcoming designers such as Kasper Salto, Jehs & Laub and Todd Bracher, combined with the timeless and iconic designs by Jacobsen and Kjærholm. ‘Our history, design philosophy and storytelling are the heart and soul of the brand name, something that is recognised, appreciated and reported by the media worldwide. This focus has during the last few years rapidly increased our exposure in the international media, helping to strengthen our company’s position as one of the world’s leading brands within designer furniture.’ 2 FRITZ HANSEN Press Clippings 1949-2008 1949 DANISH ARBEJDE, May 1949 October 1949, ‘From carpentry to large scale factory’.
