An approach based on contribution

The page quotes Anastassiades: his approach is based around the idea of collective contribution, building on the Danish design heritage and bringing his own layer of simplification and thinking.

Named After

The series is called After as a reference to the design approach: it continues a heritage lineage while introducing a more modern design language to the Fritz Hansen collection.
