&Tradition Thorvald Garden Furniture Collection

About

Designed for &Tradition by Space Copenhagen , the Thorvald collection is a sculptural tribute to the neoclassical curves and architecture of the Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen. Balancing a traditional café-style aesthetic with a distinctly modern, minimalist edge, this series is created with cosmopolitan outdoor lifestyles in mind. Crafted from durable, powder-coated steel, Thorvald creates a captivating play of light and shadow, offering a refined Scandinavian design language for terraces, balconies, and garden courtyards. Quick Guide: The &Tradition Thorvald Collection Designers: Space Copenhagen (Signe Bindslev Henriksen & Peter Bundgaard). Inspiration: The neoclassical architecture and marble sculptures of Copenhagen’s Thorvaldsens Museum. Materiality: High-strength powder-coated steel with soft curves and an open-grid structure. Versatility: Lightweight, stackable seating and tables that work in both urban and rural settings. &Tradition Thorvald: Sculpture Meets Practicality The Thorvald collection is defined by "poetic modernism"; a philosophy blending function, structure and emotional engagement that shapes Space Copenhagen’s designs. The gently curved steel frames provide a visual softness that contrasts with the linear grid-patterned seats and tabletops, creating a design that is both engaging and familiar. This open-grid construction is a significant design detail; it allows sunlight to pass through each piece, casting shifting shadows that change throughout the day. Whether you are furnishing a compact urban balcony or a sprawling rural patio, Thorvald pieces function as "garden art" that remains practical for daily use. Engineered for the Cosmopolitan Outdoors While the collection takes its name from Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, who founded the Thorvaldsen Museum, it is shaped by the contemporary café culture of Copenhagen. This is furniture built for conversation, drinks, and alfresco dining under the open sky. Stackable Design
