Sven Aage MADSEN

Madsen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1932 to 1935. After graduating, he worked for several Danish design companies before founding his own firm, Svend Aage Madsen Design Studio, in 1955.

During his career, Madsen designed a wide variety of furniture and lamps, including the Modell 301 chair for Bovenkamp, the Cobra lamp for Louis Poulsen and the Samba chair for Poul Cadovius. He has also worked on industrial design projects for companies such as Bang & Olufsen and Danfoss.

Madsen has won several awards for his work, including the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennale in 1957 and the Lunning Prize in 1961. His work is considered part of the modern Danish design movement, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s.

Svend Aage Madsen died in 2000, but his work is still admired for its functionality, elegance and timeless simplicity.
