Bridging the gap between past and present, Lange Production was founded in 2006 after the successful acquisition of distribution rights from Jørgen Kastholm’s estate. Agreed on the condition that Lange Production met the same quality as the original designs, Lange set out to produce his ever-growing catalogue acquiring the initial production facilities, methods and tools. Prioritising form, function and finish, Lange enlists local professionals throughout Denmark and Germany that specialise in wood, steel and leather production to combine the designers’ construction methods with modern innovation wherever possible.

Lange’s indomitable offering boasts designs from Grete Jalk, Fabricius & Kastholm and Horst Brüning, all exclusively available at The Conran Shop in the UK. Fabricius & Kastholm met while studying under Finn Juhl at Copenhagen’s School for Interior Design, Jalk was instrumental to Danish modernist design and paved the way for many female designers, whilst Horst Brüning’s designs captured the spirit of their time through minimalist forms and durable functionalities. The Conran edit comprises the lyrical GJ Bow Chair, the lavish FK 87 Grasshopper Chaise Longue and the supple HB 6915 Daybed, amongst others.

The captivating, Conran-exclusive GJ Bow Chair is a classic Grete Jalk design from 1963 and is manufactured by Lange Production with the help of several Danish cultural institutions.

Crafted from just two pieces of plywood, the chair is available in black-stained ash and teak accents. Jalk’s most renowned design, the expressive chair has been lauded for half a century for its complex structure and refined lines.
