Danish designer Povl B. Eskildsen created the Tradition series for Fritz Hansen, which is a modular lounge capsule of furniture. It embodies a versatile theme that is suitable for modern living and seasonal changes that commemorate the natural beauty of the bent teakwood used to construct the designs. The standout element is the design and material that make it suitable for the outdoors.
It uses the aforementioned FSC™-certified teak heartwood because of its beauty and strength. Eskildsen speaks about the capsule, stating "This collection elaborates on traditional spindle furniture designs, drawing clear references to mid-century renditions of chairs. It looks to the Danish design tradition, fulfilling a function while looking visually appealing. At the same time, it draws on the way we seek to create personal spaces in furniture design, for rest and relaxation."
