When you step into the headquarters of Fritz Hansen in Allerød, northwest of Copenhagen, you breathe in the spirit of a company that has made design history. The showroom, a mecca for students of design and architecture, displays pieces that have become icons, including the Series 7 chair, the Swan lounge chair, and the Lissoni sofa.

A recurring theme in the history of the Danish furniture maker is its collaborations with big-name visionary designers like Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm,

and Piero Lissoni. With these influxes of fresh energy and an unwavering commitment to Fritz Hansen's core values of creativity, the finest craftsmanship, and the utmost attention to even the smallest details, the company has succeeded in placing its products in the collective consciousness of humanity as well as in the offices of the President of the UN General Assembly, the Crown Plaza Hotel in Bangkok, the Banquet Hall of Oxford's venerable St. Catherine's College, New York's Museum of Modern Art, and private homes all over the world.

With over 150 breathtaking photos, this thoughtfully designed coffee table book recounts the history of an exclusive brand, the marvellous pieces of furniture that has made it so revered, and provides examples of how a single piece of furniture can beautify an entire room or building, and fire the imagination of those who live there.

Whether you're leaving the world of Fritz Hansen in Allerød or closing this book, it will be with a wealth of new creative ideas and the knowledge that before sustainability became a trendy buzzword, Fritz Hansen was already practicing it in its purest sense, true to its motto of "Crafting Timeless Design".

当你走进位于哥本哈根西北部阿勒罗德的弗里茨·汉森公司总部时，你会感受到这个创造了设计历史的公司的精神。展厅是设计和建筑学生的胜地，展示了已经成为标志的作品，包括7号椅、天鹅椅和里索尼沙发。

这家丹麦家具品牌经常与阿恩·雅各布森（Arne Jacobsen）、保罗·克耶霍尔姆（Poul Kjærholm）和皮耶罗·里索尼（Piero Lissoni）等富有远见的大牌设计师合作。随着这些新鲜活力的涌入，以及对弗里茨·汉森（Fritz Hansen）的核心价值——创造力、精湛工艺和对最小细节的**关注——的坚定承诺，该公司成功地将产品置于人类的集体意识中，置于联合国大会主席办公室、曼谷皇冠广场酒店、牛津大学古老的圣凯瑟琳学院的宴会厅、纽约现代艺术博物馆和世界各地的私人住宅中。

这本精心设计的卓边书通过150多张令人叹为观止的照片，讲述了一个独特品牌的历史，以及使其备受推崇的家具作品，并提供了单件家具如何美化整个房间或建筑，并激发居住者的想象力的例子。

阅读完这本书后，你将获得丰富的新创意，并了解到在可持续发展成为一个时髦的流行语之前，弗里茨·汉森已经在最纯粹的意义上实践了它，忠实于它的格言“打造永恒的设计”。
