Danish design firm Republic of Fritz Hansen has been active since 1872, where the company has been churning out high end furniture which has been constantly evolving.
The furniture brand has recently come out with an accessories collection to match its products. With 'Objects,' Republic of Fritz Hansen carefully crafts each piece, working with other designers to get a range of different products. Designers attributed to the series include Jaime Hayón, Arne Jacobsen as well as Sophie Nielsen and Rolf Knudsen of Studio Roso.
'Objects' uses pieces from past collections and reinterprets them with a fresh and modern perspective, staying true to the classic design while transitioning the range with contemporary features. The company also re-releases pieces seen in its early 1950s collection -- such as the folding tray table and the classic 'Dot' stool.
