Cecilie Manz designed Taburet for an exhibition produced with the help of Danmarks Nationalbank's Anniversary Foundation. It is a contemporary and functional stool, but also an occasional side table that embodies uncompromising precision craftsmanship.
Offering tactility and seating comfort, this detailed piece of craftsmanship is crafted from FSCβ’-certified solid pine or cherry wood, with visible grain and a subtly concave seat.
Taburet is with the China Chair the piece that comes closest to Fritz Hansen's cabinetmaker's pieces. It's the connecting piece, extra seat or side table for the newspaper next to your favorite reading spot.

Born in 1972 in the Danish town of Odsherred, Cecilie Manz lives and works in Copenhagen. In 1997, she graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (design, objects and furniture section). She continued her training at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, then she founded her own studio in Copenhagen in 1998. Embodying Scandinavian creativity in all its simplicity, Cecilie Manz designs furniture, lamps and a set of home products. Celebrating the Nordic art of living, she subtly mixes gray tones and brighter colors.Β
Alongside her activity with brands, Cecilie Manz continues to work off-set on experimental and more sculptural projects which make up an important part of her work and her approach: βI view all my works as fragments of one big, ongoing story, where the projects are often linked or related in terms of their ideas, materials, and aesthetics, across time and function.Β»Β
