Designed by Cecilie Manz

Cecilie Manz was born in the Odsherred region of Denmark. As the child of parents occupied with
art and design, designing always formed a natural part of her life. She chose design as her living
when she began studying at the Danish School of Design in 1992. Her great interest for function
and conceptualization took her further as an exchange student to Helsinki
where she attended the Finnish University of Art and Design.
In 1998, a year after she graduated from the Danish School of Design she started her own studio,
Manz Lab, the centre of her work ever since. Cecilie Manz' strong feeling for functionality and insistence on quality make her an obvious choice for Fritz Hansen. Already, Cecilie Manz has exhibited all over the world and is permanently represented in the exhibitions of MOMA and the Danish Design Centre. She has been lectured and awarded several significant prizes for her conceptual design.

"I work with things that have a meaning to me. My general idea is always to have a clear argument legitimizing the designs that I make. Function is essential, and if I cannot formulate a good reason for a new product, it is better to refrain from making it" Cecilie Manz.

Cecilie Manz는 1998년 코펜하겐에 개인 스튜디오 Manz Lab을 설립하여 가구, 조명, 유리제품을 중심으로 다양한 디자인 활동을 펼쳐오고 있습니다. 심플하고 기능적인 디자인에 시적인 감각을 더해 높은 평가를 받고 있으며 2007년에는 제품 디자이너로서 큰 영광이라 할 수 있는 Finn Juhl Prize를 수상했습니다.
