O&M DESIGN
Okamura & Marquardsen has worked for a number of Danish, Swedish, Italian and Japanese factories since the office was established in 1973. Their primary area of work is furniture design. The collaboration with Skipper Furniture started in 1981 and has resulted in a large number of chairs and sofa models for both private and public use.
SVEND SKIPPER
Svend Skipper was apprenticed as an upholsterer in 1948 and learned in 1952. In 1955 he bought a small furniture shop in Durup and called it "Svends Möbler". A year later, he made his first chair "No. 91" which was later popularly named the Skipper Bamse chair.
CARSTEN BUHL
This whimsical play on words characterizes furniture designer Carsten Buhl's approach to design development. Each piece of furniture is a challenge and has its own story. But what they all have in common is that they are created with respect for the simple, pure expression of the Scandinavian design tradition.
The aim is always to create furniture that solves practical and functional needs while meeting certain design quality requirements.
HENRIK LEHM
Henrik Lehm is a new Danish designer on his way to international recognition for contemporary furniture design. H. Lehm graduated in 1994 with a Master of Science in Architecture and Design from Aalborg University. In 2003, this education was supplemented with studies in international branding and marketing.
Henrik Lehm's work continues the Danish design tradition in a well-balanced combination with international and industrial design. One of his specialties is the design of modern chairs with excellent seating comfort, some of which are already recognized as future classics. Lehm's main source of inspiration is modern technology in general and nature's own way of designing and painting.
