HISTORY

Hvidt & Mølgaard was a Copenhagen-based Danish design and architectural practice founded in 1944 by Peter Hvidt (1916–1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907–1993).

The partnership became an important force in post-war Danish furniture design, particularly during the 1950s, when they pioneered furniture designed for efficient production, flat-packing and international distribution.

Their work is recognised for its elegant simplicity, intelligent construction and characteristic use of high-quality natural materials, and today remains highly regarded by collectors of Danish Modern and mid-century furniture.
