Story
Timbur and its name
Carl Hansen & Søn says Timbur means “timber” in Icelandic. The bench became Icelandic designer Gudmundur Ludvik's first design for the manufacturer in 2023 and reflects his training as a carpenter and cabinetmaker.
Reduced to joinery and use
The page describes a modular, flat-packed construction reduced to focus on joinery and untreated teak. The gently sloping backrest and broad armrests support the bench's use; each armrest provides a surface for a cup or small plate.
