Hvidt & Mølgaard's pioneering vision: between traditional craftsmanship and industrial innovation
Pioneers of Danish design, Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen brought a new vision to modern design, merging Scandinavian craftsmanship with groundbreaking industrial innovation. Their masterpieces reissued by &Tradition, such as the iconic AX lounge chair, pushed the boundaries of design by seamlessly blending tradition with modernity, leaving a lasting legacy in Danish modernism.
