A new Danish design classic
Danish design is synonymous with elegant, distinctive chairs. Chairs are arguably the ultimate sculpture and nothing relates more closely to the human body than the chair. Designing a beautiful chair is an art — chairs need to be seen from every angle, they need to be made of the right materials, they need to be comfortable. That's why we started with the chair when we created Kvik Living. It's also why we collaborated with Hans Thyge & Co, one of the premiere furniture design companies in Denmark today.
The horizon line
The main feature of The Horizon Chair is its armrest. Lots of tender loving care was given to this design, to make it the perfect place not only to rest your arms and relax, but to set your coffee or glass of wine. The backrest is attached to the curve of the armrest in a light, almost magical way, like it's floating there. It results in a simplicity and clarity that belies the amount of thought that went into the design.
Meet the designer
Hans Thyge & Co is one of the premiere furniture design firms in Denmark today. They were the perfect partner for us, as we developed our new line of Kvik Living furniture. Their respect for the Danish design tradition, their knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, as well as their focus on circularity were exactly what we were looking for.
As Hans says, "When you do a collection, it has to have a kind of handwriting from us. So when we have done the first piece, it always gets more intriguing when you do the second and third one. It's a whole play of wanting to make things different, but having the same DNA."
