Architect and modernist, Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was an initiator in bringing functionalism to Denmark.
After attending boarding school with Arne Jacobsen and his brother Mogens Lassen, the three of them maintained a close bond through childhood and later in life as colleagues. He is now renowned for his overstuffed furniture and has received major international recognition in the design world for his armchairs, which today have become known as “the Flemming Lassen style”.
