The Planner collection of coffee tables, created in 1953 by Paul McCobb, an iconic figure of mid-20th-century American design, is now being reissued by the Fritz Hansen brand. McCobb's very direct approach, which combines aesthetics and function in a few essential elements, is in perfect harmony with the Danish design tradition. Available in three shapes, Planner has a marble top that rests on an elegant steel base that is extremely sturdy despite its light appearance. The steel legs are tapered at the base – a distinctive feature of all McCobb's designs. Simple yet sophisticated, ethereal yet sturdy, Planner coffee tables will find a home in any style of interior.
Fritz Hansen also works with contemporary designers such as Jaime Hayon, and always favours furniture with simple, sleek and functional forms made from natural and comfortable materials. This hallmark, which goes hand-in-hand with the Fritz Hansen ethos, is now combined with that of emerging designers who have injected new energy into the brand. Today, Fritz Hansen's philosophy is interpreted by young, brilliant and talented Danish designers, as well as internationally renowned designers. In addition, pieces resulting from new collaborations with Fritz Hansen are designed with utmost respect for the brand's history and origins.
