Interior Design: Carl Hansen & Son - Passionate Craftsmanship

Would like to share with you today a flashback from my post of February 2015. It's from the Danish furniture company Carl Hansen & Søn about their developments in interior design. This company is known for its passionate craftsmanship. Take a look below at these beautiful designs, like The Metropolitan Chair and Benny the Weaver Wishbone Chair. This blogpost is a repost of my post from 21-02-2015. Be Inspired .......

The Metropolitan Chair

The Metropolitan Chair, designed by the Danish duo Ejner Larsen & Aksel Bender Madsen, is now on the market. This year Carl Hansen & Søn has reintroduced the Metropolitan Chair, a 1949 design piece admired for its superior craftsmanship and excellent seating comfort.

More about the company

Every item of furniture produced by Carl Hansen & Son reflects over 100 years of furniture history with respect and passion for craftsmanship. Carl Hansen founded his company on a strong belief: outstanding craftsmanship and rational serial production could go hand-in-hand to provide customers with high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. Today, they continue to build on this simple but strong idea. They combine traditional woodworking techniques with the latest technology to produce furniture of lasting value.

Photography: Amazing landscapes from architectural designer Per Carlsen (01)

While surfing on Linked-In this morning I found some beautiful landscape photos from Per Carlsen. Carlsen is an Oslo-based architectural designer. His work is really amazing. He captures the visual beauty and shows how amazing our world can be! Be Inspired ...... In January / February 2026 will I publish a 2nd blogpost about Per Carlsen. 
 

More about the architectural designer

Per Carlsen is known for his surreal landscapes that blend reality and imagination. Influenced by surrealism and brutalist architecture, he creates dreamlike scenes where monumental structures emerge in vast natural settings, often featuring a lone figure.

His work explores themes of human progress, technological dependence and environmental decline, evoking both wonder and unease. Using painting, illustration and 3D modeling, Carlsen bridges art and architecture, challenging viewers to reflect on their relationship with nature, technology and the future.

Flashback: Inspiring collection from Naeem Khan F/W 2012, seen at NYFW

 

Naeem Kahn has always designed with a nod toward his native India. But this season, inspired by a trip home last Fall, Kahn translated the extremes of Indian culture, from Tilaka dots to elaborate paisleys into a breathtaking collection worthy of Maharajah splendor. The title “The Body as a Canvas: From the Mughal Paisley to the Hindu Tilakas” tells the story. The collection featured mostly neutral colors, letting the fantastic workmanship shines. Earlier I wrote more blogs about this inspiring fashion designer, SEE HERE

Thank you for reading this blogpost.
