About the designers
Nanna Ditzel (1923–2005) was one of Denmark's most versatile designers. She trained as a cabinetmaker and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Kaare Klint, where she met her future husband and creative partner, Jørgen Ditzel (1921–1961). The two established their own studio in 1946, developing furniture, textiles and objects with a shared curiosity for new materials, bold forms and unconventional ideas. Throughout the 1950s, their work was exhibited and recognised for its innovative approach.
After Jørgen's passing in 1961, Nanna developed her own distinctive design language, informed by poetry and art and expressed through vibrant colour, sculptural forms and unwavering curiosity. Over six prolific decades, her work moved freely across furniture, textiles, jewellery and other fields.
Her collaboration with Fredericia began in 1989, when Thomas Graversen, then stepping into the next generation of the family business, embraced her vision and she became the company's second house designer after Børge Mogensen. Her work remains an important part of the collection today.
