In 1998, Hans Sandgren Jakobsen was contacted by Qumei Furniture, the Chinese furniture company. Due to a growing Chinese interest in Danish furniture, QM was looking for a Danish designer to make a completely new series of products and to help giving the company a new image. He accepted their invitation to visit the company in Beijing. This visit started off a good co-operation with QM Furniture and the series of furniture called DANISH LIVING (the DL-series). In addition to designing new products, Hans Sandgren Jakobsen was also requested to be in charge of a new interior concept for the shops associated with the company. The good co-operation with QM has given the company a design boost, and today QM is among the foremost trendsetting manufacturers of furniture in China. The DL-series is primarily inspired by Scandinavian design traditions, where simplicity and elegance are some of the keywords. The series consists of light and simple furniture in light coloured types of wood, and the shapes are inspired by the lines of the Danish landscape. The DL - series includes products for nearly every room of the home: the dining room, the living room, the bed room and the office!
