There was a time when a mirror was a mirror. A one-dimensional surface into which you could reflect yourself - in the bathroom, in the hallway or behind a cupboard door in the bedroom. It was purely practical. Today, the mirror is something else and more: a decorative element.
Designed in 1935 by the famous architect and furniture designer Magnus Læssøe Stephensen, the TMBO series is characterised by its sinuous silhouette and slightly sloping backrest.
The designer has chosen to work with two very contrasting materials that cooperate in a way where the clean surface is fragmented by the basic, dark, and slightly heavy legs, which – as the Latin word FER also refers to – supports the table surface.
A joyful design with a characteristic expression, a functional chair and a timeless, well-crafted material - these are the key elements of Magnus Stephansen's Arch armchair from 1932.
Piet Hein was, in fact, a polymath, whose studies ranged from mathematics to architecture to poetry. He went on to use the harmonious elliptical form in many other works, such as the seat and back of the Piet Hein chairs.
The No 7 coffee table is inspired by the unique curves of the backrest of Helge Sibast's 1953 Sibast No 7 chair. The same shape is used to mold the table's two-legged foundation.
