Then giving a higher priority to his design visions, he worked for some of the famous Danish architects, Friis & Moltke and Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen.
In 1988 he graduated as an industrial designer. He has been part of Innovation Living since 1989 and is the driving force behind the constant creative development of the collections.

Founder of Innovation LivingTM
Innovation Living™ was founded in 1971 in Denmark by Flemming Højfeldt. Inspired by his personal experience with the first production communities of the flower power generation, he started the company with a production of beanbags. At the end of the 1980s the desire to produce own design took over. Flemming was inspired by the successful Japanese futons, as well as the desire to create an independent brand with own original designs. This was the idea behind the successful sofa bed concept known as Innovation Living.
