Furniture connects us to the present. Furniture is helplessly

analogue. Good design allows people to engage with each

other, sense the quality of materials, and create a stimulating

visual environment that gives a place spirit. As Wegner said, “A

piece of furniture first becomes truly complete when someone

sits in it.”

At Fredericia, we are privileged with a legacy of iconic designs

but also a legacy of craft and an appetite for innovation and

collaboration. A tradition formed by techniques, tools, mate-

rials, and, most importantly, people. It is a culture of design

that can only thrive when it is being put into use, nudged, and

sometimes transformed.

This publication is dedicated to celebrating the craft and com-

munity that inform our culture of design in this present-day and

time.
