About Nanna Ditzel:
Nanna Ditzel (1923 - 2005) was quite young when she made her entrance into Danish design. As a 20-year-old student at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, she exhibited her first furniture at the annual exhibition of the Carpenters' Guild, and when she graduated as a furniture designer in 1946, she married her colleague Jørgen Ditzel (1921-1961) and together they started a design studio. 

With a portfolio that encompassed furniture, jewelry and textiles, Nanna Ditzel did not limit herself to one field of work or material. From the early 1950s, working closely with Jørgen, Nanna designed a range of advanced, innovative furniture in unconventional materials, such as the then untested foam rubber, and later ventured into polyester and fiberglass. Throughout her life, materials and techniques were challenged, and her love of nature's organic forms often resulted in an avant-garde design language.  Likewise, classic materials such as wicker, laminated wood and silver were transformed into iconic furniture and jewelry.
