As BoConcept’s rich history proves, good design only gets better with age. When Jens Ærthøj and Tage Mølholm founded the Danish brand in 1952, they wanted to give their cabinetry a fresh, midcentury flair. Seventy years and many brand evolutions later, BoConcept has become synonymous with forward-thinking, Scandinavian essentials for the entire home.
“We continually create new designs that push the envelope regarding functional and customizable designs,” explains Steen Knigge, BoConcept’s U.S. director of marketing. “Our world-renowned designers are at the forefront of current trends, while staying true to our classic Danish Design heritage.”
Innovation has always been at the heart of BoConcept, so it’s only fitting that the brand celebrates its 70th year of business with new pieces that cater perfectly to the modern dweller.
“The guiding principles since 1952 [have] been expert craftsmanship, elegant functionality, and quality materials,” Knigge says. “We draw on our Danish heritage and foundations to create timeless styles that are built to last, [and] the new collection is no different. Embracing simplicity, minimalism, and functionality, we focus on the key elements of Danish design to ensure our pieces always stand the test of time.”
Join Knigge for an intimate look at three favorite pieces from BoConcept’s latest collection. With clean lines, Danish-inspired details, and a function-first approach, these styles are poised to become new classics.
Berne Sofa
As small spaces continue to rise in prominence, BoConcept is responding to the demand for compact furniture with its Berne Sofa by Henrik Pedersen. Though the style is available in two and three-seat configurations, the compact silhouette doesn’t compromise style. “Well-defined shapes and soft curves combine in the Berne sofa, with its light, elegant design that is welcoming from every angle,” Knigge shares. An upright back and deep seats complete the look, taking the phrase “sitting pretty” to the next level.
Princeton Lounge Chair
With an organic silhouette and ergonomic cocoon effect, the Princeton Lounge Chair by Morten Georgsen offers the comfort of your favorite worn-in seat with the appeal of Danish design. To make a cozy chair even more inviting, select one of the available supple textures such as velvet, bouclé, and leather. “New, on-trend materials make all upholstered designs both uniquely timely and timeless,” Knigge shares.
Asti Office Desk
Enhance your remote workday with the Asti Office Desk, which was also made in conjunction with Georgsen. A slim laminate tabletop rests nicely on a set of lacquered legs, offering a stylish simplicity that’s key in Nordic design. “With its light, clean silhouette, the Asti desk suits any home office,” Knigge adds. Business, meet pleasure.
Whether you want to upgrade your living room or finally create a home office, BoConcept’s collection is ready to elevate form and function in the home—now and even 70 years later.
