Carl Hansen & Søn and the design company Georg Jensen, have entered a creative partnership that has resulted in a spectacular Special Edition of office furniture, created especially for the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011.
They will present the new office furniture in a special golden version, produced in just one set for the Milan show:
- Wegner created the new office concept as part of their CH100 series.
- Carl Hansen & Søn brings workplace aesthetics to the next level, with the desk and accompanying office chairs.
- All stainless steel parts on the desk, the chairs, the sofa and the coffee table have been coated with 24-karat gold.
- The exclusive detail permeates the furniture with a warm and welcoming glow that will bring pleasure to the executive floor.
Knud Erik Hansen, third-generation owner of Carl Hansen & Søn, explains about the special Milan edition:
“Managing a design heritage such as Wegner’s must be done with respect and devotion – something we are very aware of in our daily work. But if anyone was innovative and had an eye to the future, it was Wegner. Therefore we thought it would be interesting to talk to Georg Jensen, and to see what could come of bringing their masterful approach to metalworking together with Wegner’s masterpieces of design.
As a designer, Wegner was also something of a contemporary King Midas: much of what he touched turned into golden examples of form meeting function, with a beauty that perseveres for generations.â€
