Cecilie Manz

With a discrete sense of playfulness,

Cecilie Manz’s work demonstrates that

functional details capture the aesthetic

essence of an object in a subtle way. Con-

sidered one of the leading Danish furniture

designers of her generation, all her projects

have a strong, functional reason for

revolving around simplicity, in her mission

to create a pure, aesthetic object.
