VLA75 Foyer Bench
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 should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?
Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.
Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.
For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.
We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.
Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.
Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.
How much does shipping cost?
To see shipping costs, add an item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be able to see costs there.

Do you deliver to NYC?

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.
