Kevin Hviids møbler er ikke for sarte sjæle.
De stirrer tilbage på brugeren med et kulørt glimt i øjet. Formsproget er til tider indlysende geometrisk og lader materialerne vise sine bedste sider.
Som en slags trodsig selvmodsigelse mestrer Kevin også den diskrete, men virtuose snedkertradition. Cocoon stolen, der musikalsk trækker på Finn Juhl- æraens omgang med træet, er på en gang arketypisk som stol og blæret kompleks i sin form. En kommende klassiker.
Nominering til Årets Møbel 2022: “Skabt som en hyldest til dansk stoledesign og inspireret af 60’ernes organiske modernisme har den danske designer Kevin Hviid formået at skabe en stol, som både er tro mod sine forfædres tidløse æstetik og samtidig tilbyder noget nyt og kontemporært. Der er swung i stregen, lethed i formsproget, stor kompleksitet i konstruktionen og sidst, men ikke mindst – man sidder fantastisk godt.” - Bolig Magasinet, Bo Bedre og Scandinavian Living

Cocoon Dining order via ATBO.
Nomination by Dezeen: “ATBO has produced a contemporary tribute to classic Danish design in a blend of vision and craftsmanship.
Created by Kevin Hviid for ATBO, the Cocoon Dining Chair combines values of sustainability and style.
The design of the natural material chair in a rounded and circular form is produced in an efficient and long-lasting manner as part of a design family that blurs the boundary between furniture and architecture. It is inspired by the organic modernism of the 1960s, where soft and sculptural shapes melt together.
Made from wood, the chair comes in both oak and black-stained beech and can be upholstered with any type of material.”
“Man kan ikke beskylde Kevin Hviid for at være en mainstream-designer. Han går egne veje og er ikke bange for at kaste sig ud i vovede formeksperimenter. Det til trods har han ingen problemer med at vedkende sig sin danske designarv. Kevins nye stol, Cocoon Dining, er således en hyldest til den danske stol, men den er først og fremmest et eksempel på en kompromisløs formgivning og et virtuost håndværk” Stolen produceres af ATBO
Artikel fra BoBedre, skrevet af Susanne Holte
Nominering: “Cocoon er den lille, trygge puppe, vi kan søge ind i for at samle tankerne og fordybe os, inden vi igen vover os ud i verden med vores bidrag. Stolen har et skulpturelt og meget dragende formsprog, og så giver kombinationen med flet et let, transparent udtryk. En nytænkende stol, der både kan gøre sig i det professionelle liv og som en unik figur i hjemmet.” - Bolig Magasinet og Bo Bedre

The vision behind Cocoon Dining Chair has been to create an iconic and contemporary tribute to the parents of Danish chairs. Cocoon Dining is an ambitious and uncompromised design combining a sustainable design vision with virtuous craftmanship. This is a chair that is well designed, well made, and made to last.
Cocoon Dining Chair is the second addition to the Cocoon Family, first-born is Cocoon Lounge Chair. As you say for 2nd child: your heart doesn't split, it doubles in size.
The Cocoon Family is a design family that blurs the boundary between furniture and architecture. It is inspired by the organic modernism of the 60’s, where soft and sculptural shapes melt together. Our mission has been to create new icons. Timeless but still playful designs that fits both at home and outside home.
Cocoon Dining is designed by Danish designer KEVIN HVIID (Architect b.1978).
HULA rocking chair is a unique piece presented for Adorno's NY exhibition Danish Predictions, a virtual group show bringing twenty Danish designer-makers to New York.
By its four superimposed steel circles, HULA encompasses the bodily movements and its rhythm. The circles cross in two directions and create eight cross points. In three of the circles, a horizontal iron bar creates stabilization, and holds the seat and back of the chair. Straps between the cross pieces make a very nice seating.
HULA is a playful reference to the hula hoop ring. Inscribed within a circle and square, the construction of HULA is inspired by the iconic Vitruvian Man drawing. A light construction with a great volume. The look transforms depending on the angle from which the chair is viewed.
It's a must try, - and have. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Production on demand.
Kevin Hviid studio is getting ready for the darkest month of the year by presenting the Trit lamp. The sculptural lamp was presented for the Cabinetmakers' Exhibition, in the occasions of their 40th birthday. The design marries form and function, creating a piece that is elegant and flexible.
Beautiful both with and without lighting, this lamp adds to a room's atmosphere even when it is not turned on. Planning on launch in 2022.
ATBO has produced this lovely video, showing Cocoon discussions behind the scenes.

We are so proud and happy to announce that Cocoon Lounge Chair has won the Reader Award at Design Awards 2020!
Release of the table Oli. Oli is an interpretation of magic and illusion. Life is too short to be too overly serious all the time. It certainly does not hurt to have a companion that can see the bright spots in life. Oli is your companion.
This table is Tim Burton and Memphis in a new interpretation and a new garb, full of fun and illusions that stimulate and hone your senses.
The ellipse is in a strong blue color, in contrast to the tabletop. The wood of the tabletop is soft and well-crafted, rich in details, depths. The ellipse is metallic blue with a cold surface, no further depths but with a mirror reflection in the middle, which replicates the geometric shapes of the ellipse to infinity and creates complete confusion of where the table starts or ends. The two constructions have very different character and speak to your senses. The cherry on top are the fluorescent acrylic plexiglass sheets, giving a special touch of light and color and contrast to the natural laws of material composition.
Oli was presented at The Danish Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition 2020. This edition 2020 took place in Copenhagen’s historical Tivoli Gardens for a celebration of illusions.

Kevin Hviid Studio has designed the new undercarriage 'FRAME' for ATBO bookcases. We are pleased about the results and happy to help ATBO achieve their design goals.
'FRAME' makes the ATBO bookcase an elegant and versatile element in modern interior. We wanted the undercarriage to complement the shape of the modules. A seamless fit in a timeless style sumps up our design ambition. The result emphasizes the cube shape of the modules, making them more light by introducing a thin visual element and axis. The frame adds an ease to the boxes by lifting them from the ground.
'FRAME' comes in steel and wood and in three sizes. More info at ATBO - www.atbo.dk
What a beautiful surprise! We are thrilled to have been nominated in the category "Furniture of the year" for Design Awards 2020! Thank you Bo Bedre, Boligmagasinet, Costume Living and Nordic Living

Our mission has been to create a new icon. A timeless lounge chair for private and public spaces. Cocoon Lounge fit just as well in homes as in the hotel lobby or restaurant lounge.
Cocoon lounge is a lounge chair that blurs the boundary between furniture and architecture. It is inspired by the organic modernism of the 60’s, where soft and sculptural shapes melt together. The design is the result of a fusion between the beauty in rattan fabric and a curvy, unified wood silhouette, creating together a harmonious and inviting feel. Recalling the classic egg-shaped hanging chair, Cocoon Lounge is the perfect nook to cozy up in.
Depending on the color combinations, the chair has a versatile expression, which can range from a serious, muted boho-chic, to a vibrant playful look.
Cocoon Lounge is designed by Danish designduo KEVIN HVIID (Architect b.1978) x MARTIN KECHAYAS (Designer b.1969).
Dimensions are 720mm (d) x 640mm (w) x 1300mm (h).
ATBO is more than a bookcase. ATBO is history, storage solutions and Danish cabinetmaking at its finest. Since ATBO was founded in 1967, our ambition has been to create furniture of the highest quality, designed and made in Denmark.
ATBO began with the now famous cabinetmaker's bookcase in exclusive woods. The bookcase represents our DNA. It is a classic that has been used to store books and objects for generations. Going forward, we preserve the simple modernist expression that the bookcase was born with and invite it into the future with new accessories. With a few adaptions, you can now achieve a variety of expressions and a higher degree of mobility, making it easy to integrate the bookcase into your flexible home interiors.
ATBO continues its journey as we work ambitiously and diligently with our cabinetmakers and designers to supplement our brand with additional furniture collections. Traditional craftsmanship, exquisite materials and a durable aesthetic remain the core values as we continue to create furniture with the potential to be handed down for generations.

Project cooperation between South Korean Agency for Culture and Palaces and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Danish embassy in South Korea.
STÆRKE BÅND – STOR AFSTAND
Det danske bidrag på den koreanske biennale viser, at den gensidige inspiration kan være stærk, selvom afstanden er stor. Biennalen favner omkring 3000 kunstnere fra 60 lande og forventer at 400.000 gæster svinger forbi.
Kurator Ditte Hammerstrøm siger: ”Jeg har valgt at udstille 15 store og markante værker, der viser, hvorfor dansk design kan noget særligt. Værkerne indtager rummet, udforsker materialerne potentiale og viser den kompromisløse tilgang til design, som netop er kendetegnende for nutidige kunsthåndværkere og designere. De 15 værker sætter fokus på håndens arbejde, æstetik og materialitet, og jeg ser frem til at vise de imponerende værker i Sydkorea.”
Værkerne og kunstnerne har tidligere været præsenteret for et internationalt publikum på MINDCRAFT18 i Milano.
INTERNATIONAL INDSATS
’Crafted Matter’, som kan opleves i Sydkorea i perioden 8. oktober - 17. november, er en del af Statens Kunstfonds Projektstøtteudvalg for Kunsthåndværk og Designs indsats i Sydkorea, hvor der ligeledes er dansk deltagelse på Korean International Ceramic Biennale 2019.
Danmark og Sydkorea fejrer i år 60 året for diplomatiske forbindelser. 2019 er et officielt kulturår mellem de to lande, hvor ’Crafted Matter’ er én af mange danske kulturelle tiltag i Sydkorea.

Whit and output spanning architecture, art and design, Kevin Hviid makes furniture in bold forms with a playful twist. His work is infused with Memphis shapes and color references: the rounded “Bob Bench”, for example, is geometric and elegant, in vivid but understated hues. For fashion label Ganni - a cult brand known for its stylish, offbeat womenswear, like leopard-print tea dresses and cowboy-inspired ankle boots - Hviid created the “Queen” chair, one of a series of four seats. It combines steel and soft leather in peachy tones, and is notable for its high oval back and slender profile. You can road-test it at Ganni´s shop on Store Regnegade(T20885311), in addition to his 3m-tall swinging “Iris” chair, assembled from nylon straps in a spectrum of neon that wrap a steel frame.
