COPENHAGUE<br />
Design by /<br />
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec<br />
Ever since the post-war years, Denmark has had a tradition of using<br />
designer furniture and lighting in public institutions and facilities.<br />
Either using furniture that was designed for the specific building<br />
or furniture selected for its expressive impact and exquisite quality.<br />
That is why we still see furniture from Danish design icons such as<br />
Hans Wegner, Børge Mogensen and Arne Jacobsen in Danish<br />
hospitals, schools and other public institutions.<br />
We are proud to continue this legacy in the current project for the<br />
interior design of the new buildings at the University of Copenhagen.<br />
The custom-designed furniture had to meet high functional requirements<br />
for stackability and cleaning while offering a warm and<br />
welcoming feel. The sense of homeliness was a key priority for the<br />
University of Copenhagen in the design of form and ambience,<br />
and therefore we chose wood as the main material.<br />
We had a strong wish to work with the French brothers, Ronan<br />
and Erwan Bouroullec, who over the past decade have cemented their<br />
position as two of the most skilled designers in the world. They have<br />
an eminent capacity for combining originality with aesthetics in<br />
products that have an eye on the future without throwing design<br />
history overboard, and which are beautiful to behold. We went to Paris<br />
to meet with the brothers and left with a promise that we would receive<br />
a design proposal four months later. Two weeks later, we received the<br />
proposal, and four weeks later, the first prototypes were ready.<br />
It was amazing!<br />
For a designer and a manufacturer, it is a gift to be allowed to<br />
create site-specific furniture that engages in a direct dialogue with<br />
the architecture. We are proud of the outcome.<br />

COPENHAGUE CHAIR<br />
Aesthetically, the COPENHAGUE Chair is a synthesis of contrasts between<br />
hard and soft. Edgy and rounded. Minimalist and decorative. The repetition<br />
of legs in triangle formations when it is stacked forms a sculpture itself<br />
as a professional and aesthetic gimmick from RONAN and ERWan Bouroullec.<br />

The COPENHAGUE Chair is also available in an upholstered version<br />
where the seat and back are upholstered as a single section – in select<br />
quality textiles.<br />

Flow in a row. The COPENHAGUE Chair is able to transform<br />
into straight rows of conference seats with an added click-system<br />
that keeps the chairs in line.<br />

CPH Chair<br />
Keeping it simple cOPENHAGUE chair is 2 x 2 legs and TWO moulded plywood<br />
shells. The sharply bent PLYWOOD is made of multiple sheets of fine veneer<br />
layered With cheesecloth. This combination makes the shell stronger<br />
than normal and Gives the chair a pleasant springiness that is essential<br />
in a backrest, and which Gives a nod to bauhaus and the first<br />
cantilever chairs.<br />
The first workshop meeting in Copenhagen after the prototypes were<br />
adjusted: testing proportions, strength and durability.<br />

COPENHAGUE BARSTOOL<br />
CPH Barstool<br />
The barstool merged seamlessly with the <strong>Copenhague</strong> collection.<br />
Here, the legs of the COPENHAUE Chair have been extended and combined<br />
with the front of THE seat, doubled up and mirrored. With a strong idea,<br />
the variations are endless.<br />
Same chair, two different expressions, endless possibilities.<br />

COPENHAGUE TABLES<br />
CPH10<br />
The COPENHAGUE table series combines diversity and simplicity. The<br />
University of Copenhagen needed a range of tables that offered variety,<br />
flexibility and functionality in a welcoming and homely expression.<br />

CPH10<br />
A coloured laminate tabletop that strikes an industrial contrast<br />
to the warm organic wood or a stained veneer? The personality<br />
remains intact whichever version you choose.<br />
focusing on details at the Bouroullecs’ studio in Paris.<br />

Both the formal and the more informal tables in the <strong>Copenhague</strong><br />
COLLECTION have a minimalist expression. Subtle functionality and effective<br />
aesthetics with laminate as a moderating colour feature in a<br />
selective palette.<br />

MOULDED PLYWOOD TABLES<br />
CPH110 + CPH Chair<br />
The university requested several different types of tables: desks,<br />
meeting tables, dining tables and cafe tables. The Bouroullecs approached<br />
this challenge by imitating the COPENHAGUE chair’s bent seat in the<br />
tabletop used for the COPENHAGUE moulded Plywood Table, highlighting the<br />
kinship. The visual and aesthetic bend provided an additional benefit:<br />
a cable gutter for keeping cords and cables out of sight.<br />

they said, ‘during our initial meeting’.”<br />

The characteristic bend in the BoUroullec design is also a key element<br />
in the COPENHAGUE Moulded Plywood Desk, which includes a support for open<br />
books and notepads. This clever feature gives the desk its unique and<br />
almost human expression.<br />
