Hvidt & Mølgaard was a Copenhagen-based, Danish design and architectural firm which
existed from 1944 until 2009. Founded by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen, the
company was a pioneering force in Danish furniture design and industrialized production in
the 1950s. During this time, the duo crafted multiple designs for the likes of Fritz Hansen,
France & Søn, and Søborg Møbelfabrik among others. In 1950, the pair designed the "AX"
Chair, which solidified both of their careers as industrial designers and became an icon of
Danish Modern design.
Both Hvidt and Mølgaard-Nielsen retired in 1975 after designing over 250 pieces of
furniture together over the course of their careers. Hvidt received the Diplôme d'Honneur at
Milan’s Triennale in 1951 and 1954. Mølgaard-Nielsen was jointly awarded an iF Product
Design Award for the "Safari" Lamp for Nordisk Solar Compagni. Their work can be found
at New York’s MoMA, the National Gallery in Melbourne, and the Danish Museum of Art &
Design in Copenhagen.
With it's graceful, sculpted backrest carved from solid teak, intricate joinery and hand-sewn
Italian leather seat this gorgeous side chair is truly a work of art. Ideal for collectors and
designers alike searching for an authentic, Danish-made chair that is as comfortable as it is
