Description
In a stroke of serendipity, this side chair from the 1956 Drawn series is now revived by &Tradition from the designers' original sketches. Modernist icons Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard Nielsen's eloquently simple seating is fashioned from turned and milled solid wood with a form-pressed backrest—and the seat is hand-woven from more than 100 meters of natural paper cord. Among the first to introduce relatively inexpensive pieces for Danish export, the duo relied on traditional craftsmanship and organic materials for furnishings that remain timeless today.

Design is never static. When Copenhagen-based &Tradition was established in 2010, founder Martin Kornbek Hansen's mission was to produce work that was defined by a unique vision, whether it came from Danish legends of the past or young innovators of the future. The roster extends from timeless luminaries such as Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen to current leading lights Samuel Wilkinson and Norm.Architects to exciting new names Mia Hamborg and Victor Vetterlein. As the company's Kornbek Hansen puts it: "We see a kinship between the old masters, who were avant-garde in their time, and new designers creating the ground-breaking icons of today."
With its library of furniture and lighting extending from the 1930s to the present day, the firm is uniquely positioned to carry on the Nordic tradition of unstinting craftsmanship and adroit use of materials. Nonetheless, &Tradition sees its future in global terms, handpicking design talent and production facilities internationally in an effort to continually produce relevant product and engage a new generation of conscious consumers.
