France & Søn

France & Søn was a Danish furniture company founded in 1948 by two brothers, Knud and Edvard France, and their brother-in-law, Søren Holst. The company specialized in the production of high quality modern wooden furniture and worked with many renowned Danish designers such as Finn Juhl, Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen.

France & Søn's furniture was often characterized by its elegance, simplicity and craftsmanship. Designers who worked with the company often sought to create pieces that were both functional and beautiful, using natural and sustainable materials such as wood, leather and rattan.

France & Søn's designs are considered important examples of mid-century Danish design and are still sought after by collectors and modern furniture enthusiasts. France & Søn's furniture has been featured in design exhibitions around the world and is on display in museums such as MoMA in New York and the Vitra Design Museum in Germany. The company ceased operations in 1995, but its designs continue to influence contemporary design.
