WORLD PIANO NEWS: Poul Henningsen’s Iconic Pianos
Poul Henningsen (1894—1967) was an influential Danish architect, designer and cultural author. He is famed around the world for his classic modern creations predominantly from the 1920s and 1930s. He is best known for his work in the fields of lighting and furniture. Henningsen had a unique modern style influenced by the Bauhaus and Art Deco schools.

He was a pioneer in the field of illumination, developing products that not only gave off a softer, warmer light, free from glare, but which were also highly contemporary in styling.
His furniture designs were, and still are, recognised as being truly innovative and helped to establish the Danish “brand” around the world. But, like many other architect/designers, it was only a matter of time before he turned his attention towards the piano.
