Reference Project
Designer and carpenter Bo Seedorff has for many years worked in the intersection between architecture and furniture design. In his practice he works with the planning of spaces, furniture and lighting. Often in places where the new has to meet the old.
He brought that idea with him when he recently built a kitchen for his daughter, Irene. In his atelier on Amaliegade in Central Copenhagen, where he has worked for more than 35 years, he designed the kitchen, which was later built in his workshop in Østerbro.
When everything was finished, only a kitchen tap was missing. Bo felt it would be wrong to install just any faucet in a kitchen that had been given so much thought. Instead he took the SP faucet that had been installed in his own atelier since 1990, and which he had used every day for three decades. He even took down the lamps and installed them in the new kitchen, his daughter Irene laughs.
Bo has specified TONI fixtures for his projects throughout his entire career, particularly the SP handle. In his own home, he and his wife have a fully functioning SP shower fixture that they purchased before they had children, and it has been working perfectly for more than 30 years.
Even though the kitchen faucet still worked, it needed a small restoration and was therefore sent to our Vintage Repair Shop in Frederiksberg C for a gentle refresh. There, Ole, our foreman of 43 years, took the faucet in and gave it a few new gaskets, a new spout and a light polish.
Now the fixture stands in Irene’s kitchen. It has already had a long life, and is now ready for a new chapter, passed on from father to daughter.
