By Lassen – Danish architecture and furniture design

3 days of design - Sweden

By Lassen is a Danish design brand founded in 2008 by the Lassens relatives that focuses on iconic designs created by Mogens and Flemming Lassen.

Mogens (1901-1987) and Flemming (1902-1984) Lassen are Denmark’s most famous architects and designers. Both were well-known Danish functionalism and modernist architects who received numerous prestigious medals and awards.

By Lassen, led by Mogens grandson Sren continues the brothers’ design philosophy by producing iconic Lassen designs and products by other designers that complement their functionalist style. The company’s mission is to carry on the tradition of timelessness, functionality, and quality, as well as to introduce new generations to their design heritage.

Its All About Feeling

Sharing the brothers’ design legacy with future generations is a goal of Lassen’s. The Danish National Art Library has a sizable collection of the brothers’ previously undiscovered designs and buildings. Many furniture designs were only ever constructed once for the specific home or structure they were made for, therefore items that were never produced still turn up at auction today. The Lassen brothers’ collection of architectural and furniture design exemplifies the best aspects of Danish design and merits greater recognition. To that aim, we respectfully and carefully chose the furniture designs we want to bring back into the world in the hopes that they will serve as enduring symbols of the Danish design tradition that has given rise to so many talented designers.

Life as Architects

Among the earliest Danish architects to work with functionalism were the Lassen brothers. Particularly for For Mogens, the style defined him, and his perception of structures and designs was undoubtedly ahead of his time. Large windows, unusual arches, square designs, and open kitchens, as we know them today, were all features of his architecture.

Mogens and Flemming maintained their studios where they operated their enterprises and entered their distinctive designs in competitions. Flemming Lassen and Arne Jacobsen collaborated on the award-winning Sllerd Town Hall for a long time, and their design for the “House of the Future” won an exhibition at the Forum.

How Scandinavian Modern Design Took the World by Storm

The roots of Scandinavian design go far deeper than the Hygge-mania of the past few years. Emerging in the 1950s alongside the modernist movement in Europe and America, Scandinavian modern style prioritized democratic, affordable, and sleek furnishings and interiors. Clean lines, functional furnishings, and a neutral palette were hallmarks of modernist style everywhere.

What Is The Scandinavian Design Movement, and Why We Love It – Alt. Surfaces

Since its emergence in the 1930’s, the Scandinavian design movement has become one of the most universally beloved. Inspired by the concepts of constructivism and functionalism, it’s all about creating a simple, practical home environment where clean, uncluttered spaces are still imbued with vitalit

The secret that makes Japanese and Swedish design look so similar-and so good

There are certain characteristics that set Swedish design apart. One is environmentally friendly production, which has a long tradition in Sweden. Transparency is another, for products as well as production – it’s often easy to see how a product is made and of what material, and producers are open about the production process.
