Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005)
Nanna Ditzel, with her postmodernism attitude and rebellion against tradition,
became a leading figure in the renewal of Danish design in the 1990s, well after her 70th birthday. Very often, her works had a subjective starting point, which was contrary to specific problems to be solved.
However, she had a magnificent ability to transform her artistic dreams into very functional and purposeful designs.
Nanna Ditzel was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1923. She trained as a cabinetmaker before going on to study at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. She was always inspired by the challenges of new materials and techniques, and in the 1950s she experimented with split-level floor seating. Nanna was a pioneer in the fields of fiberglass, wickerwork and foam rubber and in various disciplines such as cabinet making, jewelery, tableware and textiles. Nanna Ditzel designed the world’s most renowned furniture textile "Hallingdal" for Kvadrat.
