Designer

For Kristian Vedel, born in 1923, needs define a function. Greatly influenced by Kaare Klint, the father of modern Danish furniture design, and by the German Bauhaus movement, his now classic-modern designs are characterized by a creative use of materials, especially plastics and wood, with a strong sense for ergonomic and functional requirements. He famously stated “ The starting point for an architect’s work must always be that he, from his own point of view, and as objectively as possible, takes a position with regard to what he perceives as the needs of society and his fellow men; he must personally take a stand with regards to existing possibilities and responsibilities”. Kristian Vedel received the Silver Medal at La Triennale di Milano for children’s furniture in 1957, the Gold Medal at La Triennale di Milano for stackable melamine dishes and containers, and the Lunning Prize in 1962.
