Ditzel's masterpiece Trinidad Chair announced in 1993 by Fredericia, a long-established Danish furniture manufacturer.
The design was inspired by the architecture of the Caribbean island of Tobago. The silhouette that emerges from the light and shadow overflowing from the radial slits in the backrest is truly beautiful, and the motif is the wind bird (bird of paradise) that inhabits the island. Known as a masterpiece chair that has won design awards around the world, including the Milan Triennale, the beauty of the Trinidad Chair is not limited to its beautiful appearance. The fan-shaped back plate that draws an exquisite curve and the shape of the seat that wraps around the body are very comfortable. You can feel the consideration for the sitting hands like a female designer.
The technique of making radial slits in a curved shell was considered impossible for molded plywood furniture, but it was successfully achieved by making full use of the cutting-edge technology of the time. At the time of the announcement, it became a topic of great progress in design and technology. Plus, its lightweight design makes it easy to carry and move.
