Brdr. Krüger launches new tables by Hans Bølling based on an idea from 1958
Driven by an aspiration to create contemporary furniture pieces that celebrate the values of classic Danish design, Brdr. Krüger launches a remarkable trio of tables by Danish architect Hans Bølling.
TRIIIO TABLES SERIES – a New Turn on Danish Modern by iconic Danish architect Hans Bølling
Originally sketched in 1958 by Danish architect Hans Bølling, creator of the iconic Bølling Tray Table for Brdr. Krüger in 1963, the three TRIIIO Tables have been put into production for the first time.
The TRIIIO Table is available in three variants: coffee table, side table and dining table and has been created in close collaboration with Hans Bølling. Brdr. Krüger has reworked the TRIIIO Tables in a smooth finish with the addition of elegant, tinted glass and accents of brass, to give the table a contemporary and modern feel.
By combining a playful wooden leg construction with a floating glass tabletop, the tables manage to establish an almost poetic harmony between the simple and the sculptural; values that are reminiscent of the period when Hans Bølling first sketched the design.
An intense and respectful collaboration The TRIIIO collection was created by the craftsmen at Brdr. Krüger and creative director, Jonas Krüger in close cooperation with Hans Bølling. To the renowned architect, drawing and creating is a way of breathing and throughout the years, his artistic talent has proven to be inexhaustible.
Hans Bølling, architect, says, “It has been an immense joy to experience a sketch and prototype I made when I was 27 years-old in the hands of the skilled craftsmen in Brdr. Krügers workshop; to see them work their magic and witness how simple and elegant amendments have transformed my original sketch into three present-day tables with a timeless quality.”
The Krüger family has maintained a very close relationship with Bølling for three generations, since the earliest days of his architectural work in the 1950’s. He considers wood a divine material, and the shared passion for wood brought the family and the architect together.
Jonas Krüger, fifth generation and creative director of Brdr. Krüger, says, “Brdr. Krüger has held very strong ties with Hans Bølling for three generations, he is like family to us. It has been a great personal privilege and pleasure to work with an architect who also worked closely with my father, and before him, my grandfather. It is incredible that at the age of 85, Hans still runs his own studio and is bursting with ideas.”
