C67 Butler Desk

C67 Butler Desk C67 The Butler desk is a perfect and minimalist design for modern Nordic interiors. With its sleek design in pale oak, the highly versatile desk will look great in most homes and meet the many and varied needs of modern households. Not least in small homes and flats. Butler is an outstanding example of solid craftsmanship that respects the Danish design tradition of honest materials and transparent construction. The design immediately strikes one as light yet stable and with a harmoniously composed desktop and frame. The Butler desk is available in two widths: 120 cm and 156 cm. Both versions are 60 cm deep. The desk incorporates a drawer which can be inserted from both sides depending on what is most suitable. The solid desktop is also available with a lacquered surface, which is very resistant to wear and tear. Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen The furniture designers Johannes Foersom (1947-) and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen (1943-) are known under the name Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen. They have run their own design studio since the late 1970s, and are today considered ‘the grand old men’ of Danish furniture design. They set great store by good and solid craftsmanship in combination with a high degree of functionality. In their simple, toned-down designs, they find an aesthetic idiom that primarily relies on function and quality. Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen has won several international design awards for, among other things, their innovative approach to working with materials and constructing furniture, which has proved successful thanks to their hands-on and academic experience. The playful and dynamic design duo has designed several furniture series for FDB Møbler such as Gesja, Butler and Mikado, Mikado as a reinterpretation of Poul M. Volther’s iconic spindleback chair J46. In addition, their furniture is on permanent display at MoMA in New York, Designmuseum Denmark, Trapholt in Kolding, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and at Die Neue Sammlung in Munich.
