Labofa’s Heritage 12.1 work chair is a timeless and stylish office chair suitable for both home and office use.

Completing the ensemble are the sleek steel leg structure and the castors that exude the authentic feel of 1950s industrial design, drawing inspiration from classic Citroën cars.

Norm Architects is a Copenhagen-based architecture and design studio founded in 2008, known for its holistic, human-centered approach to design. The studio works across architecture, interior design, product design and creative conceptualisation.
Norm Architects aims to enrich the human experience within the built environment. The practice has extensive international experience in designing everything from residential buildings and hotels to workspaces and products.
Norm Architects – Nordic minimalism and spatial wellbeing
Norm Architects is a Danish design studio originally founded by two architects, Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen. Both Rønn and Bjerre-Poulsen graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. As modernists, they believe that design should focus on real need rather than creating new products without any deeper meaning.
This thinking shows in Norm Architects’ architecture as well as in their interior and product design – the studio also has a strong command of natural materials and a knack for emphasizing details in just the right way.
Minimalism that speaks to the senses
Norm Architects seeks to ”re-sensualise” space – to bring feel, warmth and humanity to architecture and objects. Their work draws on Nordic minimalism, but a pared-back design language is not an end in itself. Every project is a search for the essential: the moment when nothing more needs to be added or taken away.
Alongside Nordic design, Norm Architects’ work also borrows from Japanese design and old craft traditions.
From architecture to product design
Norm Architects’ projects range from private homes and hotels to furniture and lighting. The studio has collaborated with several international brands and designed everything from furniture and storage systems to complete interior concepts.
Over the years, Norm Architects has been honored with numerous international awards. The studio has won the Danish Design Award’s Designer of the Year title (in 2014 and 2016), the Red Dot Award and the Good Design Award, among others. It has also been named several times in the AD100 lists of the world’s most significant architecture and design studios.
