Description
Though a gentle back curvature identifies New Works’ lounge chair as part of the Covent family, its completely upholstered presence signals a mood of complete relaxation. The embracingly cushy seat that denotes the series has been extended to the ground, with the bold frame of the original replaced with the soft touch of an upholstered base—and given generous proportions by Copenhagen’s Arde Design Studio. Showcasing the expert detailing and craftsmanship that comes with a range produced solely in Denmark, it’s available in a choice of luxe leather or select fabric upholstery.

New Works
“I come from an architectural education,” says Knut Benedik Humlevik, creative director of New Works. "It's a field that has taught me a lot about how to attack and work with a concept.” The Copenhagen-based design house melds a boldly sensual approach with the vaunted legacy of Scandinavian design. “One cannot deny that a lot of inspiration comes from the furniture ‘heroes’ of the past centuries,” says Humlevik. Not to mention “how their influence is applied in works of other designers in our time.”
New Works was launched with a series of sculptural objects grounded in 4 core values—Natural, Experimental, Rough, and Craftsmanship. With an emphasis on materials including concrete, marble, mirror and tactile metals like rough copper and oxidized aluminum, the collection has quickly expanded to a full range of furnishings that still push at the boundaries where art meets design. As a noted product designer himself and now directing the New Works stable of collaborating designers, Humlevik says, “It’s surprising where I find inspiration; it can come from very small things that have lots of character.”
