A Study on the Composition of the Product Range and Reproduction of Major Danish Furniture Manufacturers. (English)

In recent years, the demand for Danish furniture designed during the golden age between the 1940s and 1960s has increased, driven by growing awareness through exhibitions. Instances of furniture designed over half a century ago being reproduced have become more prominent. For well-known designers such as Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) and Børge Mogensen (1914-1972), several furniture makers often reproduced their works, making it challenging to grasp the overall situation of reproductions in the Danish furniture industry. This paper quantitatively analyzes the product line-up composition of five major Danish furniture manufacturers - Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn, Fredericia Furniture, One Collection, and PP Møbler - in 2014, 2021, and 2023. It also elucidates each manufacturer’s policy towards the reproduction business and new product development. The study’s most significant achievement lies in providing an overall picture of the trends in the Danish furniture industry regarding the reproduction business. Based on the results of this analysis, we aim to gain an accurate understanding of the state of Danish furniture design, which flourished in the mid-20th century and continues to be embraced to this day.
