Peter Hvidt

They created a number of pioneering sets of furniture including Portex (1945) and Ax (1950), using a laminated technique for production by Fritz Hansen.

The chairs were specially designed for export, economizing on space and packaging requirements for transportation.

[2] Hvidt & Mølgaard increasingly took on architectural assignments (from 1970 together with Hans Kristensen).

Projects covered office buildings and factories, including the De Danske Sukkerfabrikker building in Copenhagen (1958), as well as collective housing projects in Søllerød, Hillerød and Birkerød (1962–1970), all completed in a light, clear and simple style.

His works are represented at the MOMA in New York, the National Gallery in Melbourne and the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen.
