Niels Jørgen Haugesen

Niels Jørgen Haugesen (1936–2013) was a Danish designer known for minimal structures that combined visual lightness with technical clarity. After studying at the Danish School of Arts, Crafts and Design, he worked with Arne Jacobsen before establishing his own practice. His X-Line Chair, designed in 1977 and relaunched by HAY, is a defining example of Danish high-tech design.
