The Workshop Chair is a perfect blend of precision craftsmanship and simplicity of design. Its name refers to the conditions under which it was produced: Cecilie Manz, in order to retain her freshness and spontaneity, had to design the chair in just a few days. As usual, she was able to strike a balance between the overall harmony of the lines and the attention to detail. The result is a classic yet contemporary wooden chair for a private dining room, but also for a café or restaurant.

The Workshop bench re-imagines the bench, its place and its potential within the four walls of the home. While the chair refers to the history of Danish design, the bench gives the impression of bringing something completely new to the table. It is both simple and sculptural, a far cry from ordinary benches, with a gentle extension from seat to back, a beautiful detail that also enhances comfort. It's a playful, contemporary take on a classic piece of Scandinavian home furniture. Its solid wood legs and delicately curved seat create a distinctive silhouette that can be seen throughout the rest of the family. Designed to stand alone, it is ideal for completing a narrow space such as the hallway or as a statement piece in its own right.

"The design of Workshop Bench is of great simplicity, almost archetypal, giving it a quiet, clean strength. The solid oak frame blends harmoniously with the laminated hardwood veneer seat and back, giving it a light yet robust expression."

With discreet and playful aesthetics, Cecilie Manz’s work demonstrates that functional details are able to create the aesthetic essence of an object in a subtle way. Early recognition of her contribution to Danish design began with the "Micado", table designed for Fredericia in 2004.

After graduation from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - The School of Design in 1997, additionally studying at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Cecilie Manz founded her own studio in Copenhagen in 1998. Here, she designs furniture, glass, lamps and related products, mainly for the home. In addition to her work with industrial products, her experimental prototypes and more sculptural one-offs make up an important part of her work and approach:

In addition to her work with industrial products, her experimental prototypes and more sculptural one-offs make up an important part of her work and approach:

“I view all my works as fragments of one big, ongoing story where the projects are often linked or related in terms of their idea, materials and aesthetics, across time and function. My work has always revolved around simplicity, the process of working toward a pure, aesthetic and narrative object.”

Cecilie Manz is recipient of the Thorvald Bindesbøll Medal 2011, the Bruno Mathsson Prize 2009, Kunstpreis Berlin 2008, the Finn Juhl Architectural Prize 2007, The Furniture Prize 2007, the Three-Year Working Grant from the Danish Arts Foundation and several other grants.
