Scandinavian style refresh
Head to Downtown Design to see Normann Copenhagen's latest launches.
Are you feeling a chill? If you’re looking to add warmth to your contemporary interior head to the Normann Copenhagen stand at Downtown Dubai. We found pieces at their stand that added a gentle, soft touch and dose of colour that’s perfect for minimalists and maximalists.
Known for original and innovative products in a simple and contemporary design that withstands the test of time. Or in other words, to challenge conventional thinking and make the ordinary extraordinary through great design.
The Studio Chair
New products include the Studio Chair, a multi-purpose, stackable chair series with references to French industrial design. The series includes chairs, armchairs and barstools in two heights. It was also selected for the Stylepark awards at Orgatec 2018.
The Pad Lounge Chair
The Silo pouf features a simple, geometric silhouette and extravagant upholstery, while the Pad Lounge Series was designed with moulded shells in oak veneer that stand in contrast to a soft padded front and metal frame.
