Niels Hvass (°1958)
Niels Hvass is one of the pioneers of the revival of Danish furniture design that took place in the 1990s. He is one of the most talked about, award-winning Danish furniture designers around today. This is due, in no small part, to the fact that Hvass has understood how to create a new style. The source of inspiration for Hvass is an original and ingenious use of materials. The looks he creates are clear and precise, placing the user in focus, and he designs from a heart-felt desire for the user to be enthralled and to fall in love. And this enthrallment and love should grow with time. Since 1998, he collaborates with Christina Strand in their studio Strand&Hvass. They prioritize experiments with forms and materials, resulting in solutions and products that surprise and renew the Danish furniture tradition.
