Story: In 1968 the students? revolts in Paris, Rome and the United States were overthrowing stiff, old values, initiating the Flower Power-generation of peace, love and harmony. Same year, Stanley Kubrick pictured the future of the year 2001, featuring the Verner Panton Chair, and man was soon to set foot on the moon.

Story: Liza Minelli's Eyes have reflected in the sides of this pendant and the smoke from Frank Sinatra's cigarette swirled through the light in the intimate snack bar at Hotel Royal in Copenhagen, considered one of Arne Jacobsen's masterpieces. The 'Gesamtkunstwerk' included almost every little detail from the wall-mounted curtain holders to the furniture and lamps, and right down to the tableware, all designed by Arne Jacobsen.
& Yet it is a very simple lamp: four pieces forming a cube around the bulb, but this simplicity just may be what makes the Hotel Royal pendant a lasting design item.

Story: Seeing new possibilities was fundamental to Verner Panton, going his own way among the Danish designers. Many of his famous designs have a time-less quality, as if they were just created. As if an idea, when put down on a piece of paper just wasn?t good enough and the paper therefore was crumbled and thrown in the bin. And a great master?s hand picked it out again, looked at it and got an even better idea.
&The Panton Dish servers equally well for fresh fruit as for a reminder of always seeing the possibilities.

Story: Mega Bulb, though superior in size, is actually the younger sister of Bulb, first blown five years after in 2006. Just as beautiful, just as elegant, Mega Bulb is the answer to all requests for poetic lighting in larger rooms and spaces. The small irregularities in the mouth blown glass make each of the pendants one of a kind and add the story of the glass master?s personal efforts in changing sand, soda and chalk into a modern classic using a thousand year old method.

Only 23 years old and still a student at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen, he received his first international award for furniture design at Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Working as an architect all life, furniture became his media of expression in the 50?es and 60?es where he found his own style, the Ant chair (1952) showing his signature combination of strictness and floating form. In this period, where he was also a professor at the Royal Academy of Arts he reached world fame and achieved some of his best work, including his masterpiece the The Royal Hotel (1956-61) His attention to detail led to the design of furniture (Swan and Egg), lamps, tabletops and even door handles. Yes, the Hotel ROYAL pendants, that &tradition proudly produces today, were indeed the light of a golden era.
Innovation: Arne Jacobsen successfully melded modern functionalism with Danish traditionalism and though influenced by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, he initiated a modern style deeply rooted in Danish craftsmanship and materials, that had not been seen before. His works are said to reflect a form of "critical regionalism" in which traditional techniques collide with functionalist beliefs and this collision has ignited generations of architects and designers, giving them a firm ground to stand on and an openness to the new.
& Arne Jacobsen grew roses in the garden of his summerhouse but he wasn?t really satisfied until he found a nurseryman who had spent forty years of his life cultivating roses with a scent, flat-shaped roses like in the old Dutch paintings.
Jacobsen 571x205.jpg Benjamin Hubert
Tradition: ?I try not to look too much at what other people are doing, otherwise its very difficult to do anything truly new? says British designer Benjamin Hubert (born 1984). His many times award winning lighting and furniture are material led and process driven, bringing simplicity and functionality in a natural equilibrium. This approach pays respect to the usual classic suspects such as Charles Eames and Dieter Rams. By trying to create a design philosophy of his own, Benjamin Hubert is indeed a true designer.
Innovation: After graduating from Loughborough University in 2006, Benjamin Hubert?s final year project ?Puff out lights? won the Corus materials prize at New Designers, received short-listings in two other awards, and won Best Graduating Designer of the Year at the Hub Class of 2006. Though short in years, the list of awards and prices is very long, including Blueprint 100% Design Best New Product 2009, Design of the Year/British Design Awards 2009 and Elle Decor British Design of the Year 2009.
Only few designers accomplish so much in such a short time and even before turning 25. This is not least thanks to his fascination of materials, including ceramic, wood and cork, Benjamin Hubert is already an established name in the world of design. Creating new objects means doing things that are relevant and innovative in aesthetics, functionality or materials. With the goal set to create happiness with his design, there are surely many more smiles to come from his hand.
& Benjamin Hubert is always curious to find new solutions and materials, often stopping to feel the texture on a piece of furniture or feeling the weight an old glass vase.
Tradition: Born in Copenhagen, but raised in Aalborg far away from the buzz, no one would have thought that the architect Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) should become one of the greatest architects ever. He is present in almost every family album, or more correctly so, are pictures of his Sydney Opera House which he started building in 1957. As a graduate from the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen, he was influenced by Danish architect and author Steen Eiler Rasmussen. Utzon also often referred to the Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund along with Alvar Aalto and Frank Lloyd Wright as his architectural kin. After travelling through Europe, the United States and Mexico, Utzon established his own practice in Copenhagen, working mainly as an architect throughout the world. His classic, elegant and yet very poetic lines emerged not only from materials but more importantly from light. Anyone who has had the chance to enjoy any work of Utzon?s will recognise the lines from his father?s (a naval engineer) detailed boat sketches, delivering a never ending source of considerations on form, light and lightness.
Innovation: Words as futuristic, global and original are often used about Utzon?s work, and when he won the contest for the Sydney Opera House the word genius was heard. Working anthropological when sourcing inspiration for his works is maybe what made his style really new and outstanding. The eye is never tired but always challenged, in his buildings or lamps. His lamp design reflected his buildings and even though the Tivoli Pendant was designed 10 years prior to the opera house, it holds the same strength and beauty. For good reasons Utzon became only the second person alive to experience to have his work recognised as World Heritage.
& Modest Utzon never wanted to be portrayed, stating his works as his portrait.
Innovation: ?For a design object to be truly new it must evoke new senses through its design and it must hold a lasting value?, says Maria Berntsen. Her innovation derives from experimenting with materials and forms from inspiration through photography, architecture and fashion - she herself being a skilled photographer. Working intuitively with her hands when creating, she knows that we perceive the final design intuitively, too. Our innate ability to decode forms in terms of quality and wellbeing is a never ending source of inspiration for her.
& Maria Berntsen has built up a broad palette of skills through working and studying internationally, and designing everything from coffee jugs to exhibitions.
Berntsen 571x205.jpg Mia Hamborg Tradition: Norwegian designer Mia Hamborg (b.1980), BA in furniture from the Steneby School of Crafts and Design in Gothenburg has a passion for order, functionality and colour. With her joyous and playful furniture she continues an old Nordic tradition for wood turning and brings new life into the material. She compliments designer Sir Terence Conran for his acknowledgment that modern people often live with limited space and therefore making storage a design issue. She doesn?t follow any strict design tradition, but the joy of life is definitely her inspiration.
Innovation: A turned wooden leg divided into pieces and splashed with colour is a daring and charming way of renewing the woodturning tradition. Her STACK table, made for &tradition, combines the playfulness of a BRIO clown with another Nordic tradition: Democracy. The users are free to compose their own table from the turned pieces and with the measures that will fit their home perfectly, spreading the aura of joy.
&: I can spend hours with a jigsaw puzzle, putting everything into various categories, it makes me peaceful, says Mia Hamborg.
Hamborg 571x205.jpg Norm Tradition: We definitely see our work as a part of the Scandinavian modernist tradition ? functional, minimal, poetic and timeless - with a profound understanding of natural materials and a special attention to detail, says NORM, also known as the architects Kasper Rønn (born 1976) & Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen (born 1976), both graduates from the Royal Danish Academy of fine Arts in Copenhagen. The dynamic design duo, being true modernists, believe in design where focus is on meeting a real need in stead of creating one and this reflects in their work as architects as well as industrial designers. Function, production and form are equally important components, and though being true Nordic values, this also applies for the traditional Japanese design, the Arts & Craft and the Shaker Movement, all traditions, NORM is influenced by. Though bearing a strong admiration for some of the most pure minimalists like Mies Van der Rohe, Donald Judd, John Pawson, Alberto Campo Baeza and Noato Fukasawa, NORM is not easy to categorize. In the architect and designer Carlo Scarpa, with his obscene attention to detail, the duo see a kinship which they express in the that little twist or playful detail they add to their design.
Innovation: NORM combines materials in a new way and rethink details, but this is as far as a design strategy goes. We have no strict formula, every new design comes about in its own way, every invention is built on something already existing, says NORM. Speaking with one voice of design but being two highly creative individuals, the collaboration between them often leads to new designs, throwing an idea forth and back .With MILK for &TRADITION NORM?s intention was to create a soft light that could be placed in all the corners of the home to create a cozy atmosphere. With it?s innovative combination of translucent glass shade on wooden legs MILK stands firm in a strong Danish tradition, not unlike NORM themselves.

Poulsen-R?nn 571x205.jpg Pernille Vea
Tradition: ?I stand in the modern Nordic design tradition, that?s what made me, it is my creative heart blood?, says Pernille Vea (born 1965), over two decades one of the most influential Danish designers. Since she graduated from the Danish Design School with a degree in furniture and spatial design, her work list has grown along with the (very long) list of design awards she has received. The Black Contour series that she has designed for MENU is among the most loved table wear in Scandinavia. Having no design icons as such, both the artists Donald Judd and Anish Kapoor?s search of space and emptiness in their works along with Jasper Morrison?s understatement offer inspiration in Pernille?s work.
Innovation: Life is innovative. What we do at home or working, during holidays or in the car is ever changing. And basing new ideas on this context, always reflecting the era we live in, Pernille Vea?s designs become intriguing and vibrant. In the search of things that keep a dialogue with the user, function, tactility and emotions are taken into consideration. In her hands, modern Nordic is interpreted in a form that combines simplicity with proportions, minimalistic and honest. Making the material talk is one of her characteristics, heard eloquently in the Corium pendant lamp for &tradition. The Corium pendant lamp is her first furniture design in six years, taking her back to her roots.
& Pernille Vea never sleeps in the plane from Hong Kong to Copenhagen, because it is so amazing to miss.

great pleasure in working with architects on projects where her customized lightning design
closely follows the architecture and interior. SR_205x571.jpg Sofie Refer Verner Panton Tradition: Verner Panton (1926-1998) once said, ?I have never learned so much from somebody as from Arne Jacobsen?. Yet his own fluid, futuristic style couldn?t have been further from Jacobsen?s, for whom he worked from 1950 to 1952. He graduated as an architect from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1951, and later he founded his own studio and went in the opposite direction of most of his contemporary Danish designers. Pop aesthetics in furniture and interiors were born. Verner Panton successfully interpreted the ?a-changin? times of the hippie movement and moon landing into visionary colourful interior, lighting and furniture. To him, colour was always more important than form and creating his own theory of light based on Goethe and the Bauhaus painters, he believed, that colour could evoke feelings. The Flowerpot summarized this theory, lightening up in a variety of bright colours.
Innovation: Being a child of his time, the new materials emerging gave Panton the opportunity to create objects never seen before and to revolutionise interior design with his total concepts in saturated hues. This is seen in the headquarters of Der Spiegel in Hamburg or his parent?s inn on the island of Fynen where everything down to the aprons of the waitresses was designed in matching colour. He was first on many things from developing the first inflatable furniture to the first chair cast in one piece, the S chair (1960). Where he really moved the way we live was in his light and colour, this also being the title of the 1998 Panton exhibition at Trapholdt museum in Denmark. The exhibition opened as planned on 17 September 1998, reigniting the fame of the enfant terrible of Danish design. However, Verner Panton had died in Copenhagen just 12 days earlier, making it also a tribute to the designer.
& In his young days, Panton often set off from Copenhagen in an odd looking converted Volkswagen for a trek across Europe, dropping in on fellow designers to share ideas - and good meals.
Panton 571x205.jpg MANIFEST
Craft meets art. Function meets form. Material meets potential. This is Nordic tradition. And this is our heritage that we cherish and keep. But &Tradition is more. We aim to bridge the values of solid handicraft to contemporary design.
The principles of quality are timeless. But the beauty of design and the methods of production will never stand still. &Tradition will move on to reshape, to redefine and to reinvent. We utilize and combine new materials, uncover new techniques and break boundaries in manufacturing. And we challenge the limits of function, form and materials.
Thus, the collection of &tradition not only covers iconic designs and undiscovered gems from the masters of yesterday. It also features new works from leading designers of today and from the talent of tomorrow. The classics of now were the avantgarde of the past, and we will encourage the creation of what may become the classics of the future.
Our perspective is global. We scout for design talent beyond borders. We handpick the production facilities that will provide the finest quality, where ever they are. We market our collection through an international network. But our roots are still Nordic. Tradition is still a part of our identity.
That is why we believe in design that is made to last and in sustainable production. We respect nature that provide our raw materials, so we salute the tree that grew the wood and the sand that blew the glass. But even tradition will find new roads. And we lead the way at &Tradition.
&Tradition. The Nordic heritage in contemporary design.
