Spine Barstool, 2011

Spine bar stool by Space Copenhagen for Fredericia.

In recent years, a number of dazzling Copenhagen restaurants has put Nordic cuisine on the gastronomic world map. Yet our gratitude to these metropolitan restaurants has nothing to do with food.

In connection with a number of interior design assignments for Michelin restaurants in Copenhagen, Space Copenhagen developed what eventually became the Spine series. Their first creation was a lounge chair, soon followed by a dining chair, dining table, bar stool, lounge sofa, and two coffee tables.

In line with several of these successful restaurants, Spine is anchored in Nordic tradition, but with an innovative, personal twist. The simple lines are classically Scandinavian, while the unorthodox details give the furniture a striking new expression. Despite the contrasting elements, the top and bottom still merge into an entity that is quite unique.
