Contemporary Seating

If you ask Niels Bendtsen why his Neo Collection (1998) is just as relevant today as when he first designed it, he'll point out its proportions, which are something he's developed and perfected over time. An easy-to-live-with and easy-to-clean seating collection.

Occasional Tables

Niels Bendtsen’s Pool Table Collection (2004) is a juxtaposition of undisturbed flat water (like a table) and man-made squares and rectangles (like a pool). Highlighting these shapes are the green edges of the thick glass and reflections in the frosted or black tabletops A variety of sizes offer several nesting possibilities, easily arranged to fit individual needs Inspiration comes from many places, and in the case of Kasper Salto's Little Friend Table (2005), it was a Disney cartoon character. The "Little Helper" was a humanoid robot with a lightbulb for a head who first appeared in 1956 as an assistant to Gyro Gearloose, and sometimes even as an inventor himself. Rather than a moveable chair used with a stationary table, this is a moveable table to be used with a stationary chair, sofa or bed.

Sleeper Sofas and Modular Furniture

Twilight Sleep Sofa - Aluminum Frame
Havana Sofa Twilight Sleep Sofa - Black Frame  Twilight Sleep Sofa - Aluminum Frame
Offering the island-like sanctuary of a large chaise lounge, the versatility of a sofa bed, and the storage of a cupboard, the Havana Sofa readily adapts to the complex demands of modern living. Italy Designed in response to a furniture competition at the Arhus School of Architecture in Denmark in 1999, the Twilight Sleep Sofa ingeniously accomplishes what many conventional convertible sofas cannot do: It functions as a single person daybed or easily unfolds for multiple sleepers Winner of a furniture competition at the Århus School of Architecture in Denmark in 1999, Flemming Busk’s Twilight Sleep Sofa distills the concept of a convertible couch to a simple cylinder and rectangle. A compact and nicely scaled sofa, the bolster pillow adjusts to three different positions for customized seat depths and lumbar support.

 

Vega Sofa Vega Chaise Freja Sofa
Should a sectional be in order, three or more pieces can be quickly combined. For further flexibility, the arm of the sofa can be positioned on either side and changed on a whim The Vega Collection (2005) provides a unique solution for environments used for socializing, lounging and sleeping. Created by designers Busk & Hertzog, Vega consists of a multifunctional Sofa, Chaise and Ottoman. Denmark Aptly named after the Scandinavian goddess of love, fertility and rain, the Freja Sofa (2004) by Swedish designer Annika Larsson is a design of abundance and indulgence.

Contemporary European Seating

Sliding Sofa
Risom Lounge Chair  Sliding Sofa
The streamlined maple hardwood frame is expertly joined with mortise and tenon construction. A deep seat pocket and tall backrest allow for comfortable and supportive reclining. In the place of bulky cushions are heavy-duty cotton straps, which are tightly basket-woven across the frame for strength and resilience. Innovation is simple and purely functional with Pietro Arosio's expertly designed Sliding Sofa. A patented conversion mechanism easily transforms a stylish sofa to a queen-size bed with the least amount of effort. Italy

 

Malena Sofa Malena Armchair Gisele Lounge Chair
Jon Gasca's Malena Collection (1997) has character and detail that stand out from every angle. Two sweeping back legs frame a distinctive ladder back, which lightens the normally heavy form of most 3-seat upholstered sofas. The solid beech wood frame is available in an assortment of wood stains or a white lacquer, and the graceful curve of the back slats provides excellent lumbar support. The seat and back cushions follow the contours of the chair and are tightly tailored. Intrigued by the puzzle of how to create a chair that provides both comfort and ventilation, Aristeu Pires experimented with many types of ropes and fibers before finding the right solution for his Gisele Lounge Chair (2003).
