Throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, Omann Jun saw a steady increase in the variety of its products, with high-quality desks and sideboards made with teak oak rosewood added to its inventory. With beautiful wood grain and squeezed-tip legs, their pieces are highly sought after.

Omann Jun is also unique in that the Omann family provides its name as designer, with no person in particular receiving sole credit. This positions the company itself as the designer, allowing for Omann Jun to become a timeless name in Danish design.

Before enrollment in the apprenticeship, however, he had already developed superb craftsmanship, which he implemented with abundance upon apprenticing. This grew to include the human-centered design of Klint’s Kaoru, and even after graduation his experience grew under more designers.

At 26 years old, Kristiansen opened his first design shop. It was 1955, and his furniture was being hailed as “composed of the perfect balance of beautiful lines, shapes and functions.” His popularity quickly grew, and his style became known to the world as the Danish modern style.

A year in, he designed “# 42” (known alternatively as the “Z chair”), an iconic piece that would become one of the most important of his career. The work features impressive lines, innovative design, and a truly beautiful craftsmanship that can be admired from any angle.

The chair is comfortable, attractive, and versatile, with an adjustable backrest, allowing it to be used in a variety of rooms.

There is also the sophisticated Model 31 (NV31), designed for Schou Andersen, which became a hallmark of Kristiansen’s approach to dining chair design.

Many other works, including round desk drawer desks, chests, sideboards, round tables, and wall units have been included in our collection to reflect this heritage.

Today, Kristiansen’s designs remain as beautiful, practical, and popular as ever. In particular, his pieces in teak and rosewood have become vintage classics and are very valuable.
