Story

Curved Bench

Kristina Dam

The Curved Bench is the long version of the same drawing: five curves in powder-coated steel, holding a seat and holding books at the same time.

Kristina Dam founded her Copenhagen studio in 2012 after training as a graphic designer, and the pieces move easily between function and sculpture. Proportion carries the expression; there is almost no ornament to speak of.

The Curved Box drops into the compartments if you would rather they were closed.

Designed by Kristina Dam

Danish · studio founded 2012

Kristina Dam founded her Copenhagen studio in 2012. She trained as a graphic designer at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 2007, and came to furniture from that direction rather than from cabinetmaking.

The background shows in the work. Pieces are drawn with the flatness and precision of graphics, then given weight in brass, marble, oak, steel and glass. The studio describes the intention as letting art and interior design meet inside the same object.

The result moves easily between function and sculpture — tables, benches and coat racks alongside objects made only to be looked at. Proportion carries most of the expression; ornament is almost entirely absent.

About Kristina Dam

Founded in Copenhagen in 2012, Kristina Dam Studio makes sculptural furniture where interior design and graphic art meet.

Kristina Dam, a graphic designer trained at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, started the studio in 2012 with a series of limited-edition illustrations. Furniture, textiles and sculpture followed, on the idea that art and interior design belong together.

The studio calls its approach sculptural minimalism: monochrome, architectural, closely detailed. Arches and architecture run through the Curved, Grid, Collector and Outline series, in materials left much as they are.
