friis & moltke was founded in 1954 by knud friis & elmar moltke nielsen. The two architects became known for their designs of private homes and large-scale buildings, such as hotels, schools and cultural institutions. In the 60s, they introduced a danish interpretation of brutalism, characterized by grand buildings in raw concrete that embed themselves into the surrounding landscape. Friis & moltke’s furniture, the nordsø series is designed to fit into the raw architecture that they became known for.

the nørgaard chair evokes thoughts of the new social communities and sense of freedom of the 70s and is characterized by its simplicity, which demands high standards of materials and craftsmanship. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it demands the finest materials and the most skilled craftsmanship, echoing the commitment to quality that defined that transformative period. Each curve and line speaks to a design philosophy rooted in both function and aesthetics, inviting contemplation of the intersection between form and meaning.
