With these influxes of fresh energy and an unwavering commitment to the core values of Fritz Hansen creativity, the finest craftsmanship, and careful attention to even the smallest details the company has succeeded in placing its products into humanity s collective consciousness as well as the offices of the President of the UN General Assembly, the Crown Plaza Hotel in Bangkok, the Banquet Hall of Oxford s venerable St. Catherine s College, New York s Museum of Modern Art, and in private homes all over the world. With over 150 breathtaking photos, this thoughtfully-designed coffee table book tells you about the history of an exclusive brand, the marvelous pieces of furniture that has made it so revered, and provides examples of how a single piece of furniture can beautify an entire room or building and spur the imagination of the people who live there.
