With contributions from celebrated designers such as Børge Mogensen, Bodil Kjær, Morten Gøttler, Alfred Homann, EOOS, and Gudmundur Ludvik, Carl Hansen & Søn’s outdoor furniture is a masterclass in enduring design for outdoor living. The AH Outdoor Series, designed by Danish architect and designer Alfred Homann, exemplifies the principles of simplicity, clarity, and functionality.

The result is a series that combines practicality and style, perfect for modern outdoor living.

The versatility of the collection makes it a favorite for those looking to transition effortlessly between indoor and outdoor living.
