Design/ Furniture

Aggestrup #80 is a modular sofa. The #80 black was Camilla Aggestrup’s first edition, and the next edition is called the white edition, as an opposite. The mission is to create products that attract awareness towards moments in life and the human body itself. The sofa provides comfort, privacy and flexibility but still keeps the simple aesthetic values that are well-known from the Danish Design tradition. All products are handcrafted and produced in Denmark. Aggestrup

Klauser and Carpenter utility chair

Klauser and Carpenter utility chair

Design/ Furniture

Commissioned by Canteen for their group of restaurants. This design can be seen as an evolution of the once ubiquitous post-war Utility Chair, still a familiar sight in the UK today. Klaus & Carpenter managed to reduce the chair to three main components. The powder-coated frame is made from one continuous piece of bent tube. Hidden fixings join it neatly to the plywood seat and back. Along the way they subtly updated the look of the classic archetype. The result is light weight, stackable and versatile: the Canteen Utility Chair. 2009. VG&P.
