The story behind

 

Flemming Lassen (1902-1984) was a Danish architect and furniture designer. 

Lassen was in his early days employed at a couple of different design studios where the job at the childhood friend and boarding school companion, Arne Jacobsen´s design studio, appears to be the most prominent one. Here he worked until 1939. Later he became independant and he started his own design studio. He was teacher at the School of Fine Arts in the School of Architecture department.
