Ilva design competition
Torben Poulsen and I decided to participate in ILVA's design competition, which focused on creating a complete living room design.
Our previous experience collaborating on furniture concepts inspired us to contribute additional pieces to our collection.
The competition provided an opportunity to showcase a cohesive design series that combines functionality and aesthetics. Our designs emphasized simplicity, elegance, and ease of production, with each piece having a unique, modular quality that would fit seamlessly into any contemporary home.
The Roman Chair
This chair features an elegantly curved U-shaped timber frame, combining both the seat and armrests in one cohesive piece. The backrest is composed of two leather pieces, attached securely to the backs of the armrests.
The legs are made of bent metal, fastened at the center. All chair legs are identical, simplifying production. The design concept was to create a stylish lounge chair with minimal components, making it affordable without compromising elegance.
Sofa | 2 x The Roman Chair
By placing two of these armchairs side by side, you can create a two-seater sofa. In this arrangement, the middle legs are removed, and the armrests are screwed together, resulting in a seamless and flexible seating solution.

Coffee Table | Fjord Table
This coffee table features a 100 cm round tabletop with an optional 8 cm high edge. The legs are made from four L-shaped metal rods assembled at the center, allowing flexibility in both height and style. The design is classic and minimalist, offering versatile options that make it easy to produce and package.
Tea Table
The tea table shares the same design DNA as the dining chair. It consists of three parts: two identical side pieces that can serve as stools and a wooden tray in the middle that binds the design together, also usable independently.
Trinkets | Candle Holders/Vases/Bowls
The trinket series includes candle holders, vases, and bowls, all sharing a cohesive design style. The candle holders are versatile for both taper and tealight candles. The design is simple and timeless, with cylindrical shapes featuring a central circular detail across all items.
Wall Clock/Art
This wall accessory doubles as a clock and an art piece. Its simple design makes it a discreet yet stylish element, adding elegance to any wall.

Dining Chair | Marstrand Chair
The Marstrand Chair is a distinctive dining chair composed of three flexible wooden parts. Two of the parts are identical, mirror-image side pieces, joined with a central piece that serves as both the back and rear legs. The design is simple to produce and assemble without screws or glue.
Dining Table | Marstrand Table
The Marstrand Table features legs inspired by the chair's backrest, assembled without screws or glue. The legs consist of two parts that can be flipped, allowing for an adaptable look. The tabletop is two-layered, with a glass surface revealing the wooden layer beneath – offering a stylish and modern aesthetic.
