TK8 Day Bed

Like his father, Thomas Kastholm is an architect and a furniture designer. The TK8 is his first piece for the renowned furniture company Carl Hansen & Son. In the daybed's conception, Kastholm relied on the simplicity and honesty of his two favorite materials: steel and leather, believing that materials should speak for themselves. This happens best when the design is straightforward and clear.

Even before the piece entered production, Copenhagen Airport placed an order for the first nine. (Papa Kastholm designed furniture for 112 international airports.) Almost minimalist in construction, the TK8's steel frame is held together by a few screws and never welded. The sumptuous leather cushion rests on a wooden platform in your choice of ash, beech, oak, or walnut trim. There is an extensive array of leather color options.
