With the Enfold collection of storage units, Thomas Bentzen has transformed industrial factory elements into furniture for the home. Made from lacquered steel that gently wraps around the oak top and base, the Enfold sideboard fuses cold and warm materials in a unique expression. Produced by Muuto, Enfold combines the warmth of wood – a reference to classic sideboards – with the more contemporary feel of a folded lacquered-steel front, creating a sophisticated industrial look. The collection comes in two sizes: a high and a low version, each equipped with adjustable shelves. The low sideboard has three shelves that can be adjusted to five different levels, while the low version has a shelf with three possible positions. Enfold is perfect for a living room or an office.
Founded in 2010, the Thomas Bentzen design studio is based in Copenhagen. A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - School of Design in 2003, Thomas Bentzen has headed Muuto's Design department from 2013 to 2015, having previously been appointed Design Manager from 2011 to 2013 within the same company. His work is characterised by simplicity, rationality and functionality. Thomas Bentzen likes to create products that make sense in everyday life while meeting human needs. Its aim is to stimulate curiosity. Thomas Bentzen combines the use of materials and new technologies with traditional craftsmanship. " For me, sustainability means quality, form and function and putting an immense amount of energy into making virtues into necessities." His reputation extends to the creation of the iconic Cover Chair and his taste for sustainable products. His collaborations with Hay, Louis Poulsen, Menu and Muuto are testament to his talent. He never forgets to add a playful touch to his creations, as in the case of the Shade Bin. "Scandinavian design has always been about honesty and functionality, mixed with poetry. That's the way I like it. I think that Scandinavian designers have succeeded in bringing their heritage into an era where we are no longer at the side of the cabinetmaker, but are challenged and excited by new materials and new ways of producing.
