This set of six chairs by Nanna Ditzel and Jørgen Ditzel were designed in 1958, originally for the Glostrup County Hospital near Copenhagen were they were to placed in the auditorium. It was a requirement that the chair should be stackable and connectable in rows, which are both qualities of the ND150. The fact that these chairs have these functional qualities make them suited for large (public) spaces. This set consists of six pieces without armrests. The seat and backrest are executed as a laminated shell and the construction is made of tubular steel.
Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) was a cabinetmaker and became a furniture designer in 1946, and worked together with her husband Jørgen Ditzel (1921-1961).
