BoConcept: the other icon of Scandinavian style
When we think of “designer and functional furniture”, it is the Scandinavian style that naturally comes to mind. Just take a look at the IKEA 2023 catalog to see it: in terms of stylish and practical furniture, creations from the Nordic countries are positioned in pole position!
Born in Denmark in 1952, BoConcept is one of the masters in the field.
Its trademark: a sharp look and particular care given to the design of each piece. It must be said that two cabinetmakers – Jens Ærthøj and Tage Mølholm – are at the origin of the brand. Made-to-measure is therefore never far away, and most of the pieces offered by BoConcept can be adapted – both in terms of colors and materials as well as size.
BoConcept: what are the must-have pieces?
Among the strengths of BoConcept: the richness of its collections. From the bedroom to the balcony via the office, the Danish brand offers all the essentials to feel good at home. Are you one of those people who panic when buying furniture? Many brands offer “shop the look” type inspirations, creating sets that you can draw inspiration from.
BoConcept pushes the idea by offering “ready to shop” sets, made up of pieces from its various collections.
We particularly love this room designed for a small space. It features several very successful creations of the brand. Our favorite is the Lugano bed with integrated storage, featuring a cozy and ultra-trendy padded headboard. It goes wonderfully with the Cupertino console, used here as a desk.
The Expose aluminum side table is handcrafted in India. Cannon solo with a small 2-seater sofa, it can also be associated with a glass coffee table or an organic coffee table. This ultra-versatile piece can be used as a nightstand. If you love tiling in the bedroom, this piece combines harmoniously with a mineral finish such as cement, waxed concrete or natural stone.
To create a dining area in the kitchen or to have an authentic dining area in the living room when space is limited, bet on the Billund table. With its timeless lines, it embodies the essence of Scandinavian style. Because under its very wise look, it literally bends to your needs. Its tray folds down in effect so that you can press it against the wall if necessary.
In a large-format dining room, dare to be original with the Fiorentina extendable table. This architectural piece is made of ceramic: a material that accentuates the softness of its lines. It’s up to you to decide whether you accessorize it with designer chairs or cozy table chairs.
The Hauge chair was originally designed to accompany the table of the same name. With its timeless organic lines, it seduces with its versatile character. It is particularly sublime diverted as an office chair.
The beige sofa is a timeless piece. Elegant and light, it is as suitable for small spaces as for large ones. BoConcept brilliantly interprets this classic. We particularly like Modena, a minimalist and refined straight sofa. To enhance it, we combine it with dark wood furniture, one of the major decorating trends for Spring/Summer 2023.
Between corner sofa and rounded sofa, it is not necessary to decide! The proof with Indivi, the corner sofa twisted by a round chaise longue.
The recliner and swivel chair is practical and comfortable, but not necessarily glamorous. BoConcept reinvents it in a canon look, with Athena. This top-trend model with soft lines evokes the shape of a pebble. We love it as much in the bedroom or in the living room as in the reading corner.
If BoConcept is one of the emblematic brands of Scandinavian furniture, it is also thanks to its talent for producing pieces with the potential to become iconic. Among the most remarkable: the Imola armchair.
One element or several? Standing or suspended? In the office or in the living room? Como is BoConcept’s storage solution that adapts perfectly to the location you intend for it. With its great storage capacity, it is the ideal option for setting up a library in the living room.
The secret to a well-organized dining room is the buffet. At BoConcept, this basic comes in the purest Nordic tradition. The Danish publisher is however not afraid to give it a touch of originality from time to time. The Ottawa model is thus enhanced with a very current vague design, which discreetly energizes the decor of the dining room.
With the return of sunny days, it’s time to invest the terrace or the balcony. To create a chill and stylish space, fall for the Elba lounge chair. This synthetic rope model is sublime outdoors, alone or in combination with the timeless Acapulco armchair. It also works indoors, in combination with a glass coffee table.
Furniture specialist, BoConcept also offers an interesting collection of accessories and lighting. A true classic, the Pine Cone suspension is inspired, as its name suggests, by the pine cone. This designer light fits both in a contemporary atmosphere and in a Mid Century interior. It is definitely a piece to shop if you like to combine new and vintage at home!
