The broadness of my profession will always be something I highly appreciate—one day I find myself in a fancy showroom in the north of Italy—the next on a factory floor in the south of Vietnam—and there is always useful knowledge to transfer from one day to the next

Over the past 20 years, Thomas E. Alken has established a good position in the Scandinavian design scene with many successful designs and tasks behind him. He continues to investigate the interaction between user and object, which has given him a deep understanding of functionality and a material-driven focus concerning beauty, strength, tactility, production, and environmental impact.
Today the studio works with passionate high-end and midrange brands in many parts of the world.
PP Møbler was founded on April 2, 1953 by brothers Lars Peder and Ejnar Pedersen in Allerød, a small town north of Copenhagen. The company has evolved through three generations of master cabinetmakers into one of the world's most important and highly skilled workshops. Each day artisans use advanced traditional techniques as well as cutting edge technology to make some of the most exceptionally demanding and yet beautifully resolved furniture ever designed.
The first generation was a strong team. Lars Peder Pedersen was a man of the workshop with extraordinary skills. His leadership and enthusiasm created an atmosphere that inspired his craftsmen to achieve the high standards which gained the Company a reputation for outstanding quality. Ejnar Pedersen was more of a creative thinker with a strong network to architects and designers. His frequent experiments and making of prototypes led to the close friendship and collaboration with Hans J. Wegner that has become the cornerstone of the development of this brand.
All designs are made to order and the PP Møbler ambition is to create furniture that will be enjoyed and treasured for generations.
