"Behind every product lies a story. Sometimes it´s obvious and can be read in the visusal appearance of the product, and sometimes it is subtle and to be found in the detail. But the story is always there" Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog established their successful studio in Denmark in 2000. Today, their regonition goes far beyond Scandinavian borders. Their studio has won more than 20 of the most prestigious international design awards, including red Dot Awards and Good Design Awards, making them the most award-winning Danish designers of their gerneration. Several of their designs are part of permanent exhibitions at design museums around the world. busk + hertzog´s design characteristics are scuoptural, clean lines and a simple ecpression with minimal embellishment. Any decoratin usually serves a function or is integral to the furniture. They often get their imspiration from shapes and lines found in nature.

When Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog established their design studio, it was a very clear vision of being not only innovatiove an professional but also with the aim of launching a new generation of Denish Designers. Their successful revitalizing of a Danish Design industry that was mainly based on designs from the 1950´s was recognized in 2008 by the Danish furniture industry who awarded them with their oldest and finest distinction - The Industry´s Furniture Award. This was proviously given to , among others, Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm, Verner Panton and Jørn Utzon.
