DESIGNS TO ELEVATE THE OUTDOORS
Carl Hansen & Søn Outdoor Furniture Collection
Closer to nature
The talented designers included in the Outdoor Furniture Collection each bring their own unique vision and personality to furniture design. Alfred Homann’s sense of clarity and logic is evident in the AH Outdoor Series, where all superfluous details are eliminated in favor of simple expression and high functionality. Bodil Kjær’s Indoor-Outdoor Series offers an uplifting study in architectural harmony, while a sense of lightness is present in Børge Mogensen’s Outdoor Series in the way the furniture can be arranged and rearranged so easily. And lastly, Morten Gøttler’s ingenious Cuba Chair proves that a truly timeless design will be at home in a variety of contexts, whether that is inside or out.
What unites all four designers, and their work, is the powerful idea that modern design can enhance the human experience. Each used their work to bring people and nature closer together in new and thoughtful ways.
Wood is our great passion
At Carl Hansen & Søn, we are always striving towards a more sustainable world. All teak in our Outdoor Collection is FSCTM-certified, which ensures that forests are responsibly harvested, while protecting other plants, the animals of the forests and the people working in and living off the land.
Teak is at the heart of our Outdoor Collection. A highly elastic species with a tight wood grain, it boasts a high oil content that allows untreated teak to last for decades without damage. This natural resistance to fungi, pests and moisture damage makes it a beloved choice for boat building, exterior architecture, and outdoor furniture design. Much like the trees from which they were first cut, our designs live and breathe. It is a pleasure to watch how each hand-crafted piece continues to change as it ages into something even more beautiful. Carl Hansen & Søn has always believed in the importance of selecting the right materials. They are the key to crafting furniture pieces that not only resist outdoor elements but will age gracefully with time.
