FLEMMING LASSEN Architect Flemming Lassen (1902–1984) was a modernist and played an active role in bringing the functionalist movement to Denmark. Flemming Lassen worked closely with Arne Jacobsen on several award-winning projects, but his greatest source of international acclaim is his furniture, which is still fetching record prices at auctions around the world. THE TIRED MAN Sheepskin Moonlight BY LASSEN TODAY Today, by Lassen’s head office and production facilities are located in the city of Holstebro in western Jutland. It is by Lassen’s vision to share the Lassen brothers’ design legacy with the coming generations. The Danish National Art Library has an extensive archive of hitherto unknown designs and architecture by the brothers. Many of the furniture designs were only made once for the particular building or home they were created for, so to this day, pieces still come up at auction that were never put into production. The Lassen brothers’ archive of architecture and furniture design represents the finest qualities of the Danish design tradition and deserves a wider audience. To that end, we carefully and humbly select the furniture designs we choose to reintroduce to the world to hopefully live a long life in the homes of future generations as beacons of the Danish design tradition that has inspired so many design talents.
