British designer John Pawson has created a collection of bespoke wooden furniture for Danish manufacturer and long-term collaborator Dinesen.
Named the Pawson Furniture Collection, the pieces are each based on the span of a timber board. It marks 30-years of collaboration between Pawson and Dinesen and draws on their original furniture collection created in 1992.
Pawson has designed a collection of bespoke wooden furniture
"This collection is all about the timber," John Pawson told Dezeen."Everything is stripped back to the logic and poetry of the wood."
"It made sense for the dimensions of the timber to determine the proportions of the forms," he added. "The outcome is pieces that have an inherent quality of clarity, rhythm and repetition." Each furniture piece is based on the span of a Dinesen floorboard
The collection contains two sets of furniture the recently released Lounge Series and an update to the Dining Series.
A lounge chair, coffee table, sofa and daybed each made from Douglas fir and crafted by local makers in Denmark, make up the Lounge Series.
The sofa and armchair have exposed wooden boards on their sides and rear, while upholstery and layered cushions from Danish textile company Kvadrat line the seats. A daybed and coffee table are similarly composed of Douglas fir tops and legs ? with the daybed also complete with layered cushions.
