After studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Henry Rosengren Hansen began his career working for the design firm FDB (Forbrugernes Samvirke), which produced affordable furniture for the masses. Here, he designed the famous J77 chair, now considered a classic of Danish design. In the 1940s, Henry Rosengren Hansen founded his own design company, called HRH (Henry Rosengren Hansen). Here, he created a number of modernist wooden furniture pieces, characterized by clean, functional lines. His creations were widely distributed in the 1950s and 1960s, notably through collaborations with furniture manufacturers such as Fritz Hansen. Henry Rosengren Hansen is today considered one of the most important Danish furniture designers of the first half of the 20th century. His creations have been exhibited in museums around the world, including New York's MoMA and London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
