A Coleção X por Hvidt & Mølgaard

The X Collection by Hvidt & Mølgaard

“X” was the name Peter Hvidt (1916–1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907–1993) gave to this armchair and side table — and it's easy to see why at first glance.

Designed in 1959, these pieces are inspired by ancient Egyptian folding chairs and are part of the designers' family archives. This re-edition by & Tradition keeps alive the legacy of a duo that marked Scandinavian design with elegant, functional, and timeless work.

Hvidt & Mølgaard met as student and teacher and, from early on, created a strong creative complicity. In 1943, they won the Swedish Society of Design (Slöjdföreningen) competition, which marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration.

The X side table and armchair are two of their most iconic creations and helped consolidate them as central figures of Danish modernism. These pieces combine form and function with sophisticated simplicity — and continue to inspire generations of designers and design lovers.
