Description

The Foyer Bench has a delicate idiom and is meticulously upholstered with handmade buttons. The Foyer Series was exclusively created for Radiohuset in Copenhagen in 1945. Simple in its expression, the bench holds an upholstered cushion with handmade buttons on its solid oak frame. Adapted in length and comfort to present-day needs, the beauty of its original design remains now and for generations to come.

The Foyer Series was designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen. Vilhelm Theodor Lauritzen was one of Denmark’s most influential architects and founders of Danish Modernism. Today, many of his projects remain as lasting examples of a new and revolutionary approach to architecture in which form followed function. Throughout his career, he maintained that architecture should be an applied art that serves all, not just the privileged few. Among Lauritzen’s most famous and acclaimed works are Copenhagen Airport’s first terminal, which is now known as the Vilhelm Lauritzen Terminal, Radiohuset broadcasting building in Frederiksberg, Vega music venue in Copenhagen, and the Danish Embassy in Washington D.C.. He founded Tegnestuen Vilhelm Lauritzen, today Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects, in 1922. Lauritzen’s talents extended to interior design. Over the course of his career, he created everything from door handles, ashtrays, and railings to lamps, sofas, and chairs.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
