MR 515
The side table MR 515: the complexity of simplicity Design: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, approx. 1928, re-seen by Studio Besau Marguerre, 2019 The rediscovery of a versatile classic: at the occasion of the 100 years of Bauhaus anniversary, Thonet has re-issued the round side table MR 515 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. At imm cologne 2019, the original version from the Thonet tubular steel furniture catalogue from 1935 is presented as a re-edition with a tubular steel frame and transparent glass tabletop. This table was presumably created around 1928 in the context of the Esters and Lange Houses in Krefeld designed by Mies van der Rohe. With a fresh look at his original, Thonet also presents more new interpretations of the MR 515 which the compan... More
214
The subtle distinction: a smart colour concept for a design icon Design no. 14 (today 214): Michael Thonet (1859), re-interpreted by Studio Besau Marguerre (2019) At the occasion of the company’s 200th anniversary, Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau created a special version of the famous Thonet Coffee House Chair 214. This icon will be available exclusively in 2019 in four contemporary two-tone colour versions: in black, white, velvet red and sage. Their special feature: the connecting elements of the chair are stained several shades lighter than the seat ring and legs. The play of colours attracts the eye to the ingenious, minimalistic construction and, at the same time, transports its classic silhouette into a contemporary context. The natur... More

Product • By MENU A/S • Bank Pendant
Bank Pendant
Bare bulbs first sought shelter in opaque glass globes in the 1920s. Clean in their form and practical in their even distribution of light, the structures became popular bearers of good task and ambient lighting. Classrooms, libraries, courthouses, banks and kitchens alike welcomed these hardworking pendants, also known as “schoolhouse lights.” As demand for the style grew, the original white, flared globe took on more geometric forms with fancier metal fittings. In the 20s and 30s, during the Art Deco period, one form in particular – an unexpected half-moon – became especially common. Norm Architects’ take on the retro pendant reflects the designers’ focus on functional, simple, and timeless objects that leave nothing more to add or take a... More

Cast Sconce Wall Lamp
What does it really mean for a design to be timeless? At MENU, we apply the term to concepts that carry archetypal weight, harking back to bygone eras and echoing familiar forms. At the same time, these designs’ simplicity makes them unquestionably modern. There is little ornamentation, and every element carries meaning and purpose. Such is the nature of the Cast Lighting Series. Chung and Murphy based the original cast aluminum pendant on ageold plumb weights that masons and carpenters have been hanging from lines since ancient Egyptian times to establish a true vertical. Continuing the pendants’ graphic expression, the Cast Sconce Wall Lamp also incorporates new components to establish a distinct identity. So while it beautifully compleme... More
