Egeværk
Danish furniture duo recognised for exceptional woodworking, material sensitivity and contemporary design rooted in traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship.
Biography
Egeværk is the collaborative furniture practice of Danish designers and craftsmen Mette Bentzen and Lasse Kristensen. Their work is grounded in an intensive understanding of timber; each piece is developed in response to the specific characteristics, grain structure and behaviour of the wood itself.
Trained at the renowned PP Furniture workshop, both practitioners bring extensive technical expertise in traditional Scandinavian woodworking and hand shaping techniques. Their practice prioritises precision, durability and material integrity, producing collectable furniture that balances contemporary restraint with artisanal depth. Rather than imposing fixed forms onto materials, egeværk approaches wood as an active collaborator within the making process, resulting in works that emphasise tactility, permanence and the enduring cultural significance of craftsmanship.
Tundra Fluid Chair
A captivating blend of artistry and functionality. Unlike Egeværk’s minimalist wooden pieces, Fluid is a striking departure, crafted from resin and adorned with elegant copper legs. Its vibrant colours and futuristic design exude an aura of extroversion, standing out as a bold statement piece in any space.
The creation of Fluid was inspired by the mesmerising movements and visual allure of sea creatures. Egeværk meticulously studied their form, movement, and resilience, infusing these qualities into the design. The result is a hand-shaped wooden shell that serves as the foundation for Fluid’s unique form.
Crafted individually in original moulds, each Fluid chair undergoes a meticulous process. Tinted resin is whipped to capture air bubbles, resulting in a dynamic, fluid appearance reminiscent of its aquatic muse. Despite the complexity of the casting process, Egeværk’s dedication brings the sea creature to life once more, with a pulse that seems to resonate with every glance.
Details of the FLUID Tundra include a mesmerising blend of colours – 217 drops of white pigment, 9 drops of purple pigment, and 28 drops of blue pigment. Hand-cast resin and copper legs contribute to its distinctive aesthetic.
