A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - School of Design in 2003, Thomas Bentzen has headed Muuto's Design department from 2013 to 2015, having previously been appointed Design Manager from 2011 to 2013 within the same company. His work is characterised by simplicity, rationality and functionality. Thomas Bentzen likes to create products that make sense in everyday life while meeting human needs. Its aim is to stimulate curiosity. Thomas Bentzen combines the use of materials and new technologies with traditional craftsmanship. " For me, sustainability means quality, form and function and putting an immense amount of energy into making virtues into necessities." His reputation extends to the creation of the iconic Cover Chair and his taste for sustainable products. His collaborations with Hay, Louis Poulsen, Menu and Muuto are testament to his talent. He never forgets to add a playful touch to his creations, as in the case of the Shade Bin. "Scandinavian design has always been about honesty and functionality, mixed with poetry. That's the way I like it. I think that Scandinavian designers have succeeded in bringing their heritage into an era where we are no longer at the side of the cabinetmaker, but are challenged and excited by new materials and new ways of producing.
