The Foyer Bench has a delicate idiom and is meticulously upholstered with handmade buttons. The Foyer Series was exclusively created by Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset in Copenhagen in 1945.
Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was one of Denmark's most influential architects of his time and helped pave the way for Danish modernism with works that stand as enduring examples of what was then a new and revolutionary style of architecture, where form follows function. Throughout his career, Lauritzen maintained the approach that architecture should be applied art for everyone – not just for the privileged few.
One of three furniture pieces created in 1945 by Vilhelm Lauritzen, the Foyer Bench was initially designed for Copenhagen’s Radiohuset, which today houses the Royal Danish Academy of Music. 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.
