Edvard Kindt-Larsen (1901 – 1982) was a Danish architect and furniture designer who worked closely together with his wife Tove Kindt-Larsen (1906 – 1994), one of Denmark’s first notable female designers. Both Edvard and Tove studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the late 1920s. With their marriage in 1937 the couple embarked on a partnership that would bring them to the forefront as designers. Working as a team, they exhibited a high sense of quality and appreciation of current trends. The couple specialized in furniture design, presenting their work at the annual exhibitions of the Cabinetmakers Guild. The couple achieved great recognition for their work: Edvard was recognized for a large-scale hotel project by the lakes in Copenhagen and was later honoured with the Eckersberg medal for his work with Snedkerlauget’s Exhibitions, while Tove won the first prize in the Carpenter’s Guild competition.
