Our designers

Meet the BoConcept designers

BoConcept is a brand that works with a select number of primary design partners. We also have a number of talented up-and-coming designers continually contributing ideas and designs. Our in-house collection managers ensure the unity of the product line and the continued development of BoConcept.

 

Our designers and contributors come from different backgrounds but with a common philosophy: Creating designs which embody the BoConcept core values of simplicity, functionality and worldwide appeal.

Meet Anders Nørgaard

M. Arch, Aarhus School of Architecture 1989. Owner of Nørgaard Designs in Aarhus, Denmark, he has designed numerous modular sofa concepts and chairs for BoConcept.

As a Danish designer, Anders Nørgaard naturally implements the Scandinavian traditions for simplistic and functional design into his work: 'If functionality is the starting point, the aesthetics come in the form of expression. Simple lines make for a classic sofa that will look good for years. The refinement of the design comes in small bursts of details that will make the sofa a distinctive piece with international appeal.' 

 

Meet Henrik Pedersen

Fashion Designer from Teko Center, Denmark 1990. Now works with graphic and interior design in his own company 365° and has created unique chair designs for BoConcept.

Design in any form is the passionate interest of Henrik Pedersen, who has also worked with fashion and graphic design. 'If there is a rule for my design, it is that it has to speak to you. Form and function are my main tools to move and touch people no matter what I design. With the Imola chair, the organic expression almost talks to the unconscious urge to sit down and rest. The distinctiveness lies within the visual tension that’s created between the spoon-shaped seat and the sharp cut on the edges.' 

 

Meet Morten Georgsen

Bachelor of Commerce, Aarhus University, 1982. Owner of Futhark Design based in Valencia, Spain, he has a particular talent for designing multi-functional pieces, including storage, tables and beds.

Designs from Morten Georgsen and his team prove that practicality doesn't have to compromise beauty when it comes to creating storage systems. 'Of course, we have to ensure a co-ordinated look where dimensions and colours match to avoid a chaotic and unbalanced look. But smaller units, different colours, depths and lengths of cabinets and shelves and various types of fronts can create very different and distinctive looks. So wall systems are really moving away from their humble position in the living room to characteristic pieces of personal expression.'  

 

Meet Niels Stendys

Collection Manager Niels Stendys is literally a man of the world. He spends his time travelling the globe, visiting the great cities around the world all the while gathering inspiration and knowledge regarding future lifestyle and design trends.

 

Niels Stendys' work also revolves around learning how consumers arrange themselves and how they use their furniture and using these insights to create furniture with high degrees of functionality and customisation options. 

Meet Claus Ditlev Jensen

Collection & Visuals Director Claus Ditlev Jensen holds the overall responsibility for the coordination of the BoConcept collection with our vision: To have the best customised and coordinated collection in modern interior design for the urban-minded customer. He does this in conjunction with a pair of exceptional Collection Managers, great designers, an international product committee and through a dialogue with impassioned franchisees.

 

Claus Ditlev Jensen has a personal interest in the history and current interior design trends of various cultures around the world as well as for the optimal use of available space in the home. 

Meet Marlene Waldorf

Collection Manager Marlene Waldorf has an instinctive feel for creating unique, personal looks. This trait is put to great use in her work as well as her home. Travelling all over the world, she finds inspiration from all kinds of places; flea markets, restaurants, hotels – even nursery schools. Her speciality is finding hidden treasures waiting to be found.

 

'Accessorizing is the fun part of interior design,' says Marlene Waldorf, whose love for colour shines through in her stylish home as well in the BoConcept collections.
