Interior design with a series of bespoke furniture pieces to complement the space

Studio David Thulstrup has designed a highly crafted chair and tables for the revamped Noma restaurant in Copenhagen. The two-Michelin-star Noma – named best restaurant in the world by Restaurant Magazine in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 – reopened earlier this year, after moving to a new location in the city’s Christianshavn neighbourhood. When Noma head chef and founder René Redzepi commissioned Studio David Thulstrup to design the restaurant’s interior at its new location, he also asked that the studio create a series of bespoke furniture pieces to complement the space.

Working with local manufacturers Brdr Krüger, the studio created the Arv chair and table. Meaning heritage in Danish, the Arv collection is a contemporary design that references traditional Danish craftsmanship through its complex design details.
The chair, which has high armrests, has a hand-woven cord seat. The backrest is sculpted to form a fluid curve designed to support natural human movement and provide optimal seating comfort.
