Niels Jørgen Haugesen
Niels Jørgen Haugesen (1936-2013) was a leading Danish designer. After graduating from the Danish School of Arts, Crafts and Design, he worked under Arne Jacobsen, one of the most visionary designers of the time. Driven by qualities like honesty and humility, he focused more on the utility and purpose of the object rather than seeking recognition or status. Haugesen designed the iconic X-Line Chair in 1977.
