The beauty of well-proportioned joinery.
Fifth-generation furniture makers Brdr. Krüger has collaborated with David Thulstrup to create a lounge chair version of the acclaimed and award-winning Arv Chair, initially designed for restaurant Noma.
Thulstrup seeks to balance beauty with durability, lightness with comfort, and materials that will only become more expressed over time. The well-proportioned shapes and refined detailing are based on the fundamental idea of seamless joinery, reflecting organic growth patterns found in nature. Arv Lounge Chair enriches interior settings with timeless appeal and quality, fitting for hospitality settings, low-seat office areas, or private residences.
David Thulstrup says: “I wanted to reflect on the relationship between the space you are in and what your body might require from a lounge chair. The Arv Lounge Chair accommodates the body to rest in the sense of observing or receiving the space around you.”
A New Heritage.
“Arv” is the Danish word for Heritage, seeking to embody and honour craftsmanship, materiality and enduring qualities.
The Arv Lounge Chair is proudly crafted in the Brdr. Krüger family workshop in Denmark from a mix of modern and traditional methods, resulting in a strong and durable design that will last for generations.
It is made from certified solid oak, available in a choice of oiled or fumed oak, combined with handwaved paper cord. The surfaces are hand-polished with a natural wax oil, providing a protective layer with a soft touch.
The products are available directly from Brdr. Krüger and a select number of resellers worldwide.
