We recently visited our country of origin, Denmark, to unveil a new addition to the catalogue - and to meet an old friend.
A new chair
Presented in the old country
This past month we went back to our country of origin, the lovely little nation of Denmark. The visit had two purposes: We met with and visited the amazing Silver Spirit - and we officially unveiled a new addition to our catalogue.
An evolving family
The Buffy collection has been in our product line for a while an features several pieces - and now, the family has been further extended. Designer Finn Østergaard has added a dining chair in the iconic Buffy design, appropriately dubbed Buffy Dining.
"A coconut opened my eyes"
For a designer, inspiration can come from anywhere - Finn says this particular chair came about while playing around with the pieces of a coconut shell. Then, with the creative seed sown, he combined the idea with the practicalities. For a dining chair this includes things like arm rest heights, and of course the design had to be translated into the Buffy vernacular of 12mm steel pipe and flag line. This was itself inspired by the flag line trend of the 50's, but updated to modern materials. The result is a light, translucent chair which is comfortable, durable and beautiful.
Meeting with the Silver Spirit was another pleasure of the visit to Denmark. Eight years ago, when the liner was launched, we had the pleasure of supplying some of the furniture - and lo and behold, after a full refurbish we found our contributions still there. When we say that we build products to last, we mean it! It makes us very proud and happy to have an experience like this, and to see our products work for our customers.
