Description

Ditzel made this play area for the children’s toy exhibition in at Forum in Copenhagen. Rather than relying on toys, distractions, or directed games, the area is all about children using their imaginations to make the space anything they want. Designed in collaboration with her husband Jørgen, as much of Nanna’s work was before his untimely death in 1961, the Sausage Chair ( Pølsestolen) is a wonderful example of their work at the time; slim but not subtle, functional, and utilising the latest in molding technology for foam and wood. A designer who was led by a desire to create rather than a specific genre of work, Ditzel’s prolific career includes designing interior spaces, textile, furniture, and jewelry. Though she began her studio in Copenhagen, she spent a large part of her life in London, where she was a sought-after interior and product designer. These are the designs to know, from jewellery to furniture, from Danish designer Nanna Ditzel: Sausage Chair, 1958 The way in which Ditzel employs space, color, and simple shapes to foster imaginative play is nothing short of remarkable, and her efforts did not go unnoticed at the exhibition. Designer Poul Henningsen wrote,

With her nursery area, Nanna Ditzel….introduced something as unusual and exciting as the third dimension to the life of children…Perhaps one of the children who played in and climbed on this pyramidical structure will grow up to be an architect. Perhaps he will remember the richness of his encounter with the third dimension and go on to introduce it in houses for us adults…” ( Mobilia No 94, May 1963). This playful piece of can be used both inside and outside, and can be both hung from a chain or attached to a stand. The organic shape and deep seat make the sitter feel like they’ve entered their own private universe – the ideal spot to curl up with a book. Ditzel’s unconventional take on how a chair can sit in space alludes to how she would later reinterpret entire interiors. Danish designer Nanna Ditzel began her storied career in the post-war period, when Scandinavian furniture began to be globally recognized thanks to big names like Arne Jacobsen and Finn Juhl. Though Ditzel has never reached that level of name recognition internationally, her work and influence is unmistakable in Denmark.
