HENRIK PEDERSEN

Fashion Designer from Teko Center,
Denmark 1990. Now works with graphic and
interior design in his own company 365°
and has created unique chair designs for
BoConcept.


The Imola chair has all the ingredients
for a design icon. A visually strong piece
that is so characteristic in its expression
that it appeals to design lovers all over
the world. When Henrik Pedersen created
this distinctive chair for BoConcept, the
inspiration came from the lines of a tennis
ball. A typical example of how new ideas
come to the designer. 'I get inspired by
seeing things up close. Or maybe I have an
idea only for part of a product. Little details
that can evolve into a complete product.'

MORTEN GEORGSEN

Bachelor of Commerce, Aarhus University,
1982. Owner of Futhark Design based in
Valencia, Spain, he has a particular talent for
designing multi-functional pieces, including
storage, tables and beds.


Designs from Morten Georgsen and his
team prove that practicality doesn't have
to compromise beauty when it comes to
creating storage systems. 'Of course, we
have to ensure a co-ordinated look where
dimensions and colours match to avoid a
chaotic and unbalanced look. But smaller
units, different colours, depths and lengths
of cabinets and shelves and various types
of fronts can create very different and
distinctive looks. So wall systems are really
moving away from their humble position in
the living room to characteristic pieces of
personal expression.'






































Design in any form is the passionate interest
of Henrik Pedersen, who has also worked
with fashion and graphic design. 'If there
is a rule for my design, it is that it has to
speak to you. Form and function are my
main tools to move and touch people no
matter what I design. With the Imola chair,
the organic expression almost talks to the
unconscious urge to sit down and rest. The
distinctiveness lies within the visual tension
that's created between the spoon-shaped
seat and the sharp cut on the edges.'

While he recognises that style and taste can
be different depending on culture, there is
one global trend that sets new standards for
storage. Electronics have become a big part
of today's homes. 'So we have to look at this
as an integral part of storage designs. We
are creating new ways of hiding away the
electronic mess and not least all the wires
through specially designed cabinets, sliding
doors and cabinet fronts. By doing so, we
help to create a final result that will look
good in the home.'
