Event Images from Arne Jacobsen: Celebrating an Icon

Inform Interiors had the recent pleasure of hosting the Fritz Hansen North America team as well as Master Upholsterer Hans Thure Mannerhagen from the factory in Denmark. Adrian Pollack presented a wonderful seminar about Arne Jacobsen's life and work for Fritz Hansen. This was followed by Hans finishing an Egg™ chair on site during the event. It was truly an eye opening experience to see the amount of craftsmanship that goes into each piece. Seeing the craft behind the design elevates the product and company. Inform has the new limited edition 60th Anniversary Series 7™ chair available to see and purchase in the showroom. All photos are courtesy of Andrea Auge, thank you!
