Alfred Homann grew up in South Zealand, Denmark. In 1976, he graduated as an architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
During his years as a student, he worked for the distinguished architect Vilhelm Wohlert. In 1978, he opened his own design and architecture office in Denmark, and from 1987 to 1995 he also practiced as a designer in the U.S.
Homann is one of Denmark’s most renowned architects. His designs are featured in projects and exhibits worldwide. In the past few decades, Homann has received international awards for his buildings, furniture and luminaire designs. Since his collaboration with Louis Poulsen in 1976, he has designed award winning luminaires such as the Kipp and Nyhavn series.
He believes that furniture and lighting create ambience in a space. By using timeless luminaires and furniture, Homann is able to enhance an environment through a product’s shape, surface material and detail.
