The Brink cultivates an apparent lightness that conceals a high level of technical expertise. Its shell, made from moulded beech and oak veneer, is shaped using an advanced veneer technique that gives it remarkable strength despite the delicacy of its silhouette. The subtle curve of the backrest and seat naturally follows the contours of the body, while the rounded edges provide immediate comfort, whether around a dining table or in a meeting room. With the Brink, Thomas Bentzen creates a piece where every curve serves a precise purpose: the base, whether made from conical wood or steel, extends the organic line of the shell and gives the chair a balanced and cohesive appearance. This formal continuity between structure and seat reflects a design approach where Scandinavian simplicity meets a commitment to long-lasting comfort. Non-upholstered, the Brink adapts to a variety of settings, from residential interiors to hospitality spaces. True to Muuto's commitment to sustainability, its components can be individually disassembled to facilitate repair and replacement, a quality that places the Brink among the most accomplished chairs in the Muuto collection.
Founded in 2010, the Thomas Bentzen design studio is based in Copenhagen. A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - School of Design in 2003, Thomas Bentzen has headed Muuto's Design department from 2013 to 2015, having previously been appointed Design Manager from 2011 to 2013 within the same company. His work is characterised by simplicity, rationality and functionality. Thomas Bentzen likes to create products that make sense in everyday life while meeting human needs. Its aim is to stimulate curiosity. Thomas Bentzen combines the use of materials and new technologies with traditional craftsmanship. " For me, sustainability means quality, form and function and putting an immense amount of energy into making virtues into necessities." His reputation extends to the creation of the iconic Cover Chair and his taste for sustainable products. His collaborations with Hay, Louis Poulsen, Menu and Muuto are testament to his talent. He never forgets to add a playful touch to his creations, as in the case of the Shade Bin. "Scandinavian design has always been about honesty and functionality, mixed with poetry. That's the way I like it. I think that Scandinavian designers have succeeded in bringing their heritage into an era where we are no longer at the side of the cabinetmaker, but are challenged and excited by new materials and new ways of producing.
