Launched in 1952 by two cabinetmakers, this iconic brand began with an extendable teak dining table and then, chairs envisioned by an architect. Now, BoConcept unveils “lounging sofas” to sink into and stretch out on and dining tables with sculptural support and easy-clean ceramic tops. “You will never find Danish designs with a lot of frills,” says Steen Knigge, U.S. Marketing Director. “I grew up with that tranquility in Denmark. My grandma’s house looked like that. My Dad’s house looked like that. My house looks like that.” In a time when consumer data finds 73 percent of respondents feeling anxious, “you are trying to add comfort,” Knigge says. “We added cozy chenille, and a chair with a 360-degree swivel.” If that doesn’t give you a better perspective, what will?
Take a look at some of BoConcept’s newest offerings, available September 1, below:
Designed by Henrik Pedersen, the Salamanca is a low “floating” lounge sofa with a 1970s bohemian feel. “It’s deep, but comes with support pillows, and you can completely customize it,” says Knigge. “I’m tall. I’m six foot three and I have long legs. But you can lie flat on it and watch TV or gather the whole family. You can surround yourself with softness.”
The Ottawa table and chairs, designed by Karim Rashid, incorporate fluid shapes and modern curves. Available now with Matte Ash Gray legs for a contemporary look.
The Santiago dining table, designed by Morten Georgsen, has a beautiful but durable ceramic top and beveled pillar legs. “Most people will not even bat an eye over a dining table, but this one harkens back to mid-century modern,” says Knigge. Ceramic is more hygienic than veneer or natural wood. “It has no crevices,” he notes. “You can spill a glass of red wine and it won’t stain.”
The Bolzano swivel armchair marries a comfy organic shape with clean minimalistic lines. “The cocooning feel hits the sweet spot,” says Knigge. Designed by Morten Georgsen, the timeless chair has a hidden swivel feature for 360-degree rotation.
The Kingston dining table designed by Morten Georgsen now comes in a smaller, fixed tabletop version, perfect for a typical New York City or other urban apartment.
