FH430 Signature Footstool, 1954

FH430 Signature footstool by Frits Henningsen for Carl Hansen + Son.

Frits Henningsen was one of Denmark’s most distinguished designers of the early twentieth century. Designed in 1954, the pared-back lines and fluid curves of the Signature Chair and Footstool exemplify his uncompromising purist approach.

This supremely elegant design was one of the last pieces of furniture that Henningsen produced, with fewer than twenty chairs of this type initially manufactured. As a result, the original edition is highly sought after by collectors and fetches considerable sums on the rare occasions it comes up for auction.

Now reissued by Carl Hansen & Son, the Signature Chair and Footstool is for the first time available to a wider audience. Its restrained and timeless design ensures it will be perfectly placed in a range of interior settings.
