Meet The Designer
Foersom & Hiort Lorenzen
Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen have worked together for more than four decades, combining backgrounds in cabinetmaking and ship carpentry with formal design education. Their furniture brings this practical understanding of construction together with comfort, quality and an ongoing interest in materials and production.
Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen: Craft, Construction and Comfort
Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen formed their design partnership in the late 1970s, bringing together practical backgrounds in cabinetmaking and ship carpentry with their subsequent design education. This combination of making and design has informed a long career focused predominantly on furniture, with close attention to construction, materials and comfort.
Their extensive collaboration with Cane-line demonstrates this experience across outdoor furniture. The duo has worked with woven materials, timber, aluminium and upholstery to develop dining and lounge furniture where construction and comfort are closely connected. Their designs range from light, open woven structures to more substantial upholstered seating, demonstrating an ability to work with different materials and manufacturing methods rather than being defined by a single aesthetic
