Peder Moos had and still has a special position in Danish design history. He has not, as all the other important Danish furniture architects, made furniture intended for mass production. The furniture pieces he made were either made by special order or for the annual exhibitions, which of course makes Moos' furniture rare and unique. You need special skills and quality craftsmanship to have Peder Moos' approach to furniture design. Architect Henning Helger describes Moos: “His artistic value is undeniable, but what makes him unique is the close link between craft and art.”
