FURNITURE FOR WHEN YOU ARE OLD


THESE ARE THE DAYS

DESIGN: THOMAS BENTZEN  /  MADE BY KVADRAT A/S
My godmother’s living room was like a padded cave with heavy carpets, soft chairs and several layers of table cloth. It was safe - and anxiety-provoking: Imagine making a spill!
In These are the days, the spill has already been made, but the result is a far cry from spherical table legs and lace trim. It is a re-interpretation of sitting high and soft. A playful approach to the icons and notions of tables and chairs.


Materials:
CMHR foam on a chair frame upholstered with Divina fabric with digital cyan print
