Designed in 2023, the GL101 Timbur Outdoor Bench is Gudmundur Ludvik's first design for Carl Hansen & Son. The Icelandic designer reflects his minimalist approach and appreciation for traditional craftsmanship in this bench.
Respect for the use of organic materials is evident in the skilful craftsmanship of teak wood, an untreated FSCTM-certified wood that is resistant to weathering and the elements. The linear profile of the bench focuses on the beauty of the joinery, enhanced by metal details. The generous, closely slatted seat, the slightly sloping backrest and the wide armrests, which allow a glass or small saucer to be placed on it, provide the comfort needed to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The GL101 Timbur Outdoor Bench from Carl Hansen & Son is ideal for conversation or contemplation corners, where guests can be welcomed or a personal moment of gathering. The addition of a seat cushion increases seating comfort, inviting one to admire nature and the outdoors.
The designer's Icelandic minimalism describes Carl Hansen & Son's GL101 Timbur Outdoor Bench, a seat with handcrafted charm that communicates with large green spaces without being in the way.
