Thomas Bo Kastholm
Intriguing material combinations
Thomas Bo Kastholm set out to create new design concepts that would unite diverse materials into compelling compositions with clear purpose.
Born into a family that lives for furniture design, Thomas Bo Kastholm (b. 1963) followed in the footsteps of his father, designer Jørgen Kastholm. He studied interior design at the Danish Design School, graduating in 1989. After completing his studies, Kastholm launched his own career, working for studios in Denmark and Germany.
Kastholm’s collaboration with Carl Hansen & Søn began in 2009 with the design of the TK8 Daybed. For this piece, he started with materials he knows and loves best: steel and leather.
“I wanted to create a bench with simple, honest lines,” Kastholm explained. “The materials should speak for themselves and this happens best when the design is straightforward and clear.”
The TK8 Daybed, with its close ties to the core principles of classic, modern Danish design, achieved the simplicity and clarity Kastholm strived for and became an instant success.
