Carl Hansen & Søn is a family-owned Danish furniture company based on the island of Funen.

His first real factory opened in 1915, specializing in bed room furniture for the bourgeoisie and landed gentry on the island of Funen.

A contract with the American sewing machine manufacturer Singer for the production of wooden cases for some of their models helped the company through the difficult times.

[1] In the years after World War II, a new generation of young Danish furniture designers such as Finn Juhl, Hans J. Wegner and Børge Mogensen.

Carl Hansen & Søn as the company was now called entered into a collaboration with the salesman Ejvind Kold Christensen who had an eye for the new trends.

Instead of just promoting their furniture to retailers, the company also began a comprehensive exhibition and advertisement activity targeted on end consumers.

The early 1990s brought a renewed interest in Danish furniture classics and a Japanese subsidiary was established in 1991.

The company has also collaborated with contemporary designers such as Tadao Ando, EOOS, Naja Utzon Popov, Anker Bak and Brad Ascalon.
