About
Lifespan: 1912–1974 (as recorded by multiple furniture and auction sources; biographical dates vary between sources)
Manufacturer: Brande Møbelindustri
Place: Brande, Denmark
Story
Henry Rosengren Hansen was a Danish furniture designer and the person who ran Brande Møbelindustri. According to the local archive in Brande, he took over the factory in 1941 and operated it until 1970.
Sources disagree on his biographical dates, so this page treats 1912–1974—used by several furniture and auction references—as a reference rather than an uncontested fact. His design attribution is clearer for documented works such as the Model 39 dining set, surviving examples of which carry both a “design rosengren hansen” label and a Brande Møbelindustri maker’s mark.
