Strand + Hvass Studio

Industrial designer Christina Strand (b. 1968) and architect Niels Hvass (b. 1958) founded their Copenhagen-based design firm in 1998 to unlock the potential of two minds working together to create truly innovative, purposeful solutions to universal design challenges.

Their mutual design philosophy is user-centric, deeply rooted in Scandinavian culture, and based on research and a strong emphasis on function.

This has resulted in simple and comprehensible furniture that conveys a deep understanding of the potential of various materials. Strand + Hvass focus on simplicity, superior quality, and the combination of uniqueness and industrial production to create the modern classics of tomorrow.

With the Extend Table design, Strand + Hvass infused the modern Danish furniture tradition with a bold new expression and additional functionality.
