NISSEN & GEHL

Both Søren Nissen and Ebbe Gehl trained at Rud Rasmussen's workshop in Copenhagen, after which they studied as designers at the School of Applied Art. For some years thereafter they worked at different design studios and taught at design schools both in Denmark and abroad. In 1970, Søren Nissen and Ebbe Gehl entered into a partnership as Furniture Designers. Timber pieces of beautiful workmanship, which only the best cabinetmakers and furniture factories have been able to make, characterise their designs. Throughout the years, Nissen and Gehl have received several medals, awards, grants and honours for their work. Design duo Nissen and Gehl take inspiration from mid-century design and merge that with contemporary living.
