PH Furniture & Pianos is a Copenhagen-based company that produces exclusive, handmade
pianos and

Poul Henningsen between 1920 and 1950.

PH Furniture & Pianos is the only manufacturer licensed to produce Poul Henningsen’s furniture under licence from his family and aims to offer historical design pieces that solve a functional problem in an interior setting, from
armchairs and
chairs to
stools, from

storage units and pianos with particular finishes.
PH Furniture & Pianos's designer: Poul Henningsen
Poul Henningsen’s output as a designer, architect and sometimes writer and cultural commentator was prolific. He consistently challenged the status quo of Danish life on many levels, sometimes through the very practical re-designing of homes, furniture, and everyday objects and sometimes as the source of often provocative writing and thinking of a more political nature. Poul Henningsen believed that well-designed, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environments were the right of every individual: this was the enduring philosophy behind all his work. He arrived at designs that are often soft and fluid, connecting harmoniously with their surroundings, since he was always inspired by the natural world around him. His furniture is often built with the strongest "bones" of architecture, and the most tactile and beautiful finishes of smooth wood and leather.
