Preben Fabricius (1931-1984) trained as a carpenter in Copenhagen, before studying interior design under Finn Juhl, where he met the blacksmith Jorgen Kastholm (1931-2007).In 1961 Fabricius and Kastholm co-founded a studio, from which a number of furniture
design classics later emerged. Their intention was to create furniture with a clear aesthetic form. Their ultimate goal was timelessness.
The Danish interior designers dedicated themselves to the
optimization of form, material, and ergonomics, and in doing so,
followed the functional-aesthetic tradition of Scandinavian design. The Bauhaus also shaped their approach.
