The fundamental aesthetic and utility of contemporary Danish design were greatly influenced by Ole Wanscher (1903–1985). At the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he studied under Kaare Klint. After working at Klint's design studio, he went on to establish himself as a successful freelance furniture designer. When he took over Klint's position as professor at the Academy, he contributed to the development of Danish furniture design as a designer and an educator.
