Utzon(s) Gallery Bench

Designer Lin Utzon, Mika Utzon Popov & Matt Lorrain

Based on an original sofa designed by architect Jørn Utzon for his family home and created in collaboration with the Utzon family, this outdoor furniture collection communicates a deliberate design language through clear shapes, timeless materiality and architecturally inspired details. The dual-sided gallery bench elevates the truss detailing from the original sofa and reimagines it in a butterfly formation, providing a base for multiple seating arrangements. The full-bodied cushions, shown here in Hopsack Kgari fabric, offer softness and style.
