Workshop Table

design Cecilie Manz, 2020

The Workshop Table joins together the ideals of Scandinavian craftsmanship and subtle detailing, making for a deliberately simple and archetypal expression.

The Workshop Table completes the Workshop series, which includes a chair and a coffee table. With its tabletop in either oak veneer or linoleum harmoniously carving itself into the frame of solid oak, the Workshop Table brings a refined and understated appearance to any space.

Materials Frame and legs are made from lacquered (clear or black) solid oak. Table top with a lacquered oak veneer or linoleum finish.

Cecilie Manz

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.
