Thomas Bo Kastholm
TK8 DAYBED
The stringent TK8 Daybed designed by Thomas Bo Kastholm is one of
the first pieces of Danish design that travellers encounter when they
land at Copenhagen Airport, forming part of the interior since 2009.
The designer behind it, Kastholm, has a penchant for minimalist design,
straight lines and geometric shapes. He was born into a family where
his father, furniture designer Jørgen Kastholm, greatly influenced his
design interest. The Danish tradition of simple furniture as well as clear
references to international architects including Mies van der Rohe, are
evident in Kastholm’s design.
Distinctive, simple,
and confident

Vilhelm Lauritzen
VLA75 FOYER BENCH
Recreated in close collaboration with Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, the VLA75 Foyer Bench is a
series of three designs Vilhelm Lauritzen custom crafted for Copenhagen’s Radiohuset for national
Danish broadcaster Danmarks Radio. Today, the heritage-listed building from 1945 is one of the finest
examples of Danish Functionalism. Adapted in length and upgraded for comfort, the elegant bench
in solid oak represents Danish design at its best. The simple yet sophisticated bench is fitted with an
upholstered cushion detailed with characteristic hand made buttons.
