With its sculptural silhouettes, the Thorvald Collection is a nod to Bertel Thorvaldsen's mastery of form, rhythmic lines, and the eponynous museum housing his extraordinary sculptures. Culminating in a versatile collection that encourages the art of outdoor living - anywhere in the world.
Deeply inspired by Thorvaldsen's Museum, Space Copenhagen's design of the Thorvald Collection captures this contrast between the mosaic patterns and the repetitive structures of the building, expressed in the collection's steel frame and grid seating. At the same time, the collection alludes to the lyrical lines, curves and classic, romantic imagery of the sculptor's work. The result is an exquisite aesthetic able to project an interplay of light and shadows. The airy appearance and soft, inviting silhouettes effortlessly intermingle with their surroundings while maintaining a distinctive look.
Known for their in-depth understanding of how objects evoke emotions, Space Copenhagen founders Signe Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou clarify: 'Design is about emotions and intuition. Many of us are living in cities in a modern world defined by a dynamic lifestyle and speed, where connecting with the environment and the seasons becomes increasingly important for our physical and mental well-being. For the collection, it was key to find the right balance between the tangible, the easy functionality. And the intangible, the dreamy, more poetic features.'
Configured for comfort, stability and versatility, the Thorvald Collection features a lounge chair, stackable side and armchair, and various-sized complementary café, dining, and side tables, in Warm Black, Bronze Green or Ivory. Seat pads and cushions are available for extra comfort, in a neutral colour and pattern. Thorvald is a complete collection of 7 pieces, the lightness adds to their agility, allowing for easy placement in nature and urban settings, for private purposes or hospitality settings.
