Bonderup & Thorup
1944 -
1943 -
orsten Thorup (born 1944) and Claus Bonderup (born 1943) are both
graduates from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of
Architecture in 1969, and subsequently went to work together at
Danish architect, Henning Larsen’s studio in Copenhagen.
The two architects teamed up professionally and worked together
for the majority of their careers. Together they have designed
watches and in-store displays for Georg Jensen, the Arktikum
museum in Finland and the harbour area in Elsinore, where they
designed everything from urban planning to the ticket offices. They
have through their long career served many Danish and international
clients.
Thorup and Bonderup works are characterized by their honest and
classic simplicity, and the attention paid to the designs' details and
quality, which can be seen in the Semi Pendant from 1968.
