Bio:
Nanna Ditzel (1923–2005) was a Danish furniture designer whose varied practice encompassed furniture, textiles and jewellery. She graduated from the School of Arts and Crafts in 1946 and established a studio with her husband Jørgen Ditzel that same year. Her work was characterised by experimental materials and sculptural forms. The couple received the Lunning Prize in 1956, and their jewellery for Georg Jensen became a significant part of their collaborative output.
