Collection Story
Origin
Fritz Hansen presents the Skagerak Collection as contemporary wooden furniture designed with an environmentally conscious philosophy. It was co-created with renowned architects and designers, and the page links modern living indoors and outdoors to a Nordic connection between nature and design.
Design Language
According to Fritz Hansen, the collection's design language comes from Danish functionalism and from woodcraft traditions in outdoor furniture.
Design for Change
The page says material choice and the possibility of repair are essential to longevity, and that each piece is made from honest, durable materials that age beautifully. FSC-certified wood and certified textiles made without harmful chemicals are preferred and used in most pieces.
Scale of the Collection
The collection spans 43 product series of indoor and outdoor furniture and accessories, with more than 200 products. Fritz Hansen counts collaborations with 34 Danish and international designers, says 95 % of all wooden products are FSC-certified, and says all teak outdoor furniture is 100 % FSC-certified.
