Tove Kindt Larsen

Tove Kindt-Larsen (1906–1994, born Tove Reddersen) was a Danish designer and one of the first female figures to achieve major success in the world of Scandinavian design. She attended Kaare Klint’s courses at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, though she never graduated. It was there that she met her future husband, Edvard Kindt-Larsen (1901–1982), also a student of Klint, with whom she formed a productive professional partnership. Working side by side from the 1930s to the 1960s, they co-signed numerous Mid-Century design projects spanning fields from furniture to jewelry. Even before joining forces with her husband, however, Tove had already created several highly successful furniture collections, which won first prize at the 1937 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition. Furniture designed solely by Tove is now reissued by the brands Gubi and Sika Design, while some pieces co-designed with her husband are reissued by Audo Copenhagen.
