Architect
Peter Hvidt, Architect, 1916 - 1986
Peter Hvidt was founder and co-owner of the architect company Hvidt & Mølgaard.
The partnership of Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and Peter Hvidt was a pioneering force in industrial furniture production and Danish furniture design in the 1950s.
Their architectonic idiom was light, clear and simple. Their building designs were thoroughly worked out to the smallest detail. These two architects have made their mark on the furnishings and interior design arena. Peter Hvidt is also best-known for the AX chair, designed for Fritz Hansen.
Hvidt's cooperation with Le Klint has also resulted in many lamp models.
