Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sorensen both graduated for the Danish School of Arts, Crafts, & Design in 1966 and opened their own design studio that same year. While still in school they established a cooperation with Magnus Olesen. In 1971 Magnus Olesen was involved in the first models of a range of laminate furniture of which the mutual connection; both technologically and aesthetically, is apparent in aesthetic and functional design. They created multiple furniture series, mostly laminated woods and have contributed greatly to the development of molded and laminated woods and have designed some of the most prestigious Danish furniture pieces. After a 30-year successful partnership in 1995, both designers ended their partnership and went on to pursue solo careers. -Nordic Emotions
