Cover

“Cover is from a desire to create a comfortable and contemporary armchair in wood. I aimed for a crisp and vivid expression in the plywood while looking for a solid and grounded look in the frame and base of the chair. Three years of play and hard work in the making has resulted in a light, yet strong armchair, playing and taking the molded veneer to its extreme.”

THOMAS BENTZEN, former designer at Louise Campell Studio, started his own studio in 2010. He is co-founder of the design collective REMOVE and his products have received International recognition at fairs and exhibitions all over the world.

THOMAS BENTZEN ON HIS DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

I like to create objects that are functional and simple and meet the human need while in use - and simply create joy while not. For me durability means quality, form and functionality. And putting an immense amount of energy into making virtues out of necessities.

THOMAS BENTZEN ON NEW NORDIC DESIGN

To me Scandinavian design has always been about honesty and functionality comprised with poetry. I like it that way. And I think Scandinavian designers have succeeded into bringing their heritage into a time, where we no longer stand next to the cabinetmaker, but are challenged and thrilled by new materials and new ways to produce.
