Alfred Christensen
1890 - 1962
Alfred Christensen played a pivotal role in the Danish furniture industry during the 1940s and 1950s. He was both a manufacturer and a talented artist - a rare combination in the Danish furniture scene of that era - and while he sometimes drew inspiration from the greats, he always approached his designs with a playful reinterpretation.
Together with his brother Erik, he established Slagelse Møbelværk in 1931 and built the company into a global success, balancing innovative design with practical craftsmanship.
From the late 1940s, Alfred Christensen increasingly commissioned renowned architects to design modern product lines, but he continued to design occasionally, creating the iconic Boomerang chair at the age of 70.
