Design Furniture Brand

Fredericia

Fredericia, an iconic Danish design brand, traces its origins back to 1911 when entrepreneur N.P. Ravnsø founded Fredericia Stolefabrik. Based in the eponymous town of Fredericia, the brand began with a clear vision: to produce high-quality furniture that embodies the craftsmanship and elegance of Scandinavian design.

Since its creation, Fredericia has undergone an evolution marked by a constant quest for excellence. In the 1950s, under the leadership of the innovative Andreas Graversen, the brand came to international prominence through collaborations with legendary designers such as Børge Mogensen. This marked the beginning of an era of success and recognition for Fredericia.

Fredericia's values are deeply rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability and authenticity. The brand is committed to creating pieces that stand the test of time, both in terms of quality and timeless design. Innovation, while respectful of tradition, is at the heart of their creative approach. This duality allows Fredericia to maintain a perfect balance between heritage and modernity.

Under the current artistic direction, Fredericia continues to collaborate with renowned and emerging designers to produce pieces with a clean style, characterised by simple lines and natural materials. The brand's positioning remains true to its Scandinavian heritage, while embracing contemporary influences to meet the needs of modern interiors. Among Fredericia's most iconic creations is Børge Mogensen's "Spoke-Back" series, a collection that perfectly illustrates the marriage between functionality and aesthetics. The "Spanish Chair", also designed by Mogensen, is another masterpiece that symbolises the robust elegance of Danish design. Fredericia has also showcased contemporary talents such as Jasper Morrison, who has brought a touch of modernity while respecting the essence of the brand. Morrison's "Søborg" chair and "Piloti" collection are examples of this fruitful collaboration.

Fredericia's designs have won numerous awards and are exhibited in museums and design galleries around the world. Børge Mogensen's Spanish Chair, for example, is part of the permanent collection at MoMA in New York, the ultimate recognition of its importance in the history of design.

Fredericia stands out for its use of noble materials such as leather, oak and teak. The brand makes a point of selecting the highest quality materials from sustainable sources. Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, combining artisanal techniques with technological innovations to ensure an exceptional level of finish.

Fredericia has remained an independent company, faithful to its family roots. This independence has enabled the company to retain a high degree of creative flexibility and freedom in its production choices. Even today, the brand continues to manage all its design and manufacturing processes from its facilities in Denmark, guaranteeing rigorous quality control at every stage.
