About the Designer:
Theo Ruth was a Dutch
designer born in 1915 in Maastricht. He trained as a furniture designer at the
Middelbare Kunstnijverheidsschool in Maastricht. In 1936 he joined Artifort
where he specialised in living room furniture and in 1939 become head of design
and development, a position he held until his death in 1971. Ruth had a major
impact on Artifort’s design legacy. His most famous pieces include the 1952
Congo chair and the 1957 Penguin chair, both of which were constructed from two
interlocking pieces that fit together without locks or screws (the latter’s
original version featured a black and white cushion to mimic its namesake) Notable designers; Pierre Paulin, Geoffrey
Harcourt and Gerrit Rietveld also collaborated with Artifort’s design
department during his tenure.

About the Designer:
Kai Kristiansen's designs have become some of the most well-known pieces to be created in
the mid part of the 20th century and his name has become synonymous with Danish
modern. He trained as a cabinet maker, graduating in 1948 and then went on to
train under Kaare Klint at the Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He went on to open
his own office and designed for many companies such as Schou Andersen
Møbelfabrik, Feldballes, Magnus Olesen, Fritz Hansen, Axel Kjærsgaard and
Heltborg. He designed many pieces of furniture such as sideboards, desks,
chairs, tables, shelving units and cabinetry. But surely his most beloved and
popular design is the #42 chair for Schou Andersen. Sought after for not only
it's beautiful looks, but it's comfort, it has become one of the most iconic
Danish modern pieces of furniture.
