The Lassen brothers were extremely talented and were honoured with many awards and grants for their unique designs and iconic architecture. by Lassen is a family business whose simple mission is to carry the Lassen legacy forward - because good design lives on through new generations. 1 2 Mogens billede i ny kontekst Mogens Lassen Architect Mogens Lassen (1901-1987) is among the greatest and most influential of Danish architects, a pioneer of Danish Functionalism, and is internationally renowned for his characteristic architecture. Mogens Lassen was inspired by the German design school Bauhaus, and its geometric shapes recur often in his iconic designs. 3 4 Flemming Lassen Architect Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was a Modernist and part of the movement that brought Functionalism to Denmark. Flemming Lassen is particularly well known for his work with Arne Jacobsen on the award-winning House of the Future and Søllerød Town Hall, and his furniture has also achieved international recognition. 5 6 7 8 Locally made & fine Craftsmanship ”Good craftsmanship should be appreciated.” Mogens Lassen, the man behind the quotation and designer of the iconic Kubus candleholder, was well aware of the importance of craftsmanship. The two architect brothers, Mogens and Flemming Lassen, shared the same approach to craftsmanship – good craftsmanship is not just synonymous with functionality and aesthetics, but also with quality. At by Lassen, we feel exactly the same way about craftsmanship, which is also why we manufacture our products locally. ‘Local manufacturing’ isn’t just a stamp on a product. It’s our firm belief.

Their enthusiasm spread to their good friend Arne Jacobsen, and they convinced him to become an architect. Later, the brothers received a letter of thanks from Jacobsen’s father for convincing his son also to become an architect. 11 12 MY KUBUS Natalia Sanchez Echevarria, Interior designer and stylist, Spatial Code We have invited two stylists to reveal what their “I received my Kubus candleholder Kubus means to them... as a gift 15 years ago. It stands on my desk, where it is surrounded by other objects that I come across in my endless inquisitiveness for beautiful things. My interior design style is a harmonious mix of various styles – everything that enters my home has a story and a special significance for me.” Mette Helena Rasmussen, Artist, interior stylist owner of Retro Villa. Mogens Lassen’s Kubus candleholder from 1962 is a classic design icon that “I own 3 Kubus candleholders. unites unparalleled Danish craftsmanship, functionality, aesthetics and quality. They can stand up to a lot of use, While the Kubus candleholder was originally intended for family and architect and I think they become more friends, it now adorns countless homes around the world. Here, two Danish stylists beautiful with age, patina and use. show how they decorate their own personal spaces with the Kubus candleholder. The candleholders fit perfectly into my home, which is a cornucopia of impressions, colours and curiosities. They compliment the art and the unique objects that I source at flea markets extremely well.” 13 14 A Dash of Green green nature Soft, muted green tones remind us of the originality of nature.

According to Flemming Lassen himself, the aim of the chair was for the person sitting in it to feel “like a polar bear cub held by its mother in the middle of the ice cap feeling warm and safe”. 33 34 102 cm 88 cm 38 cm 97 cm PRODUCT The Tired Man DESIGN Flemming Lassen 1935 COLOUR On request MATERIAL On request 35 36 Mingle The Mingle sofa was designed in 1935. Flemming Lassen wanted to create a sofa made for conversation with a comfort that invited people to stay seated and talk together for long periods of time. The armrests were designed to encircle the sitters, generating intimacy and transforming the sofa into a cosy place to relax. Flemming Lassen took inspiration from both French elegance and modern Italian style, and transferred the trends and his own ideas to a small, upholstered sofa called Mingle. 37 38 39 40 79 cm 58 cm 45 cm 68 cm 15 cm 152 cm PRODUCT Mingle DESIGN Flemming Lassen 1935 COLOUR On request MATERIAL On request 41 42 feminine Pretty Rose bright Shades of rose take our thoughts to a brighter future, creating instant calm romantic and a feminine feel-good universe.
