Notes
Hvidt and Mølgaard's designs were characterised by their clean lines, simplicity, and functionality. They often used natural materials such as wood and leather in their designs, and their furniture pieces were designed to be both elegant and practical.
In addition to their work as furniture designers, Hvidt and Mølgaard were also involved in architectural design, and they designed a number of buildings throughout their careers. They were both highly influential figures in the Danish design community, and their work continues to be admired and sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts today.
