The Danish designers Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel exhibited their first furniture designs in Copenhagen. Ditzel’s experimental approach to materials resulted in the3-legged rattan chair, which is designed on the basis of the body. It is one of the first chairs based on the idea of integrating a shell on a frame as one piece. After Jørgen Ditzel’s death in 1961, Nanna continued to design, and in 1968 she moved to London where she established the Interspace International Furniture and Design Centre, an institution which developed a high reputation as a centre for experimental design. Nanna Ditzel returned to denmark in 1986 and opened a combined design studio and furniture workshop in Copenhagen. Sika-Design was honoured with the Innovation award selection-label at the furniture fair in Cologne in January 2013 for relaunching Ditzel’s 3-legged chair “Rana”.
