{"title":"Torbjørn Bekken","description":"Norwegian interior architect and furniture designer Torbjørn Bekken (1927–2003) was a defining protagonist of Norway’s post-war modernist golden age. Graduating from the National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (SHKS) in Oslo in 1952, Bekken was immediately recruited by the storied retailer and manufacturer Rastad \u0026amp; Relling Tegnekontor, where he shaped classic mid-century lines.\n\nBekken is celebrated for fluid, sculptural wooden seating that eliminated harsh angles in favor of continuous, body-conscious curves. His defining masterworks include the Veng (Wing) lounge chair (1960)—reissued by Eikund—distinguished by its sculpted, wing-like armrests, button-tufted back, and slanted tapered oak legs. His portfolio also includes the stackable Kryss series and refined teak sideboards produced for high-end Norwegian residences, balancing structural lightness with generous comfort.","products":[{"product_id":"veng-lounge-chair-black-leather-oak","title":"Veng Lounge Chair","description":"Veng lounge chair is the largest of the Veng-chairs, bursting with personality! The Veng family of chairs is among the most expressive chairs designed by Torbjørn Bekken. Bekken graduated from the National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1946. He designed the chair while working for the innovative interior design company Rastad \u0026amp; Relling Tegnekontor. It has an intriguing dynamic between the slender frame, curved backrest and its highly sculptural armrests. The chair is both elegant and bold at the same time.","brand":"Eikund","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49800824127809,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4150\/0993\/files\/5533d90e-5ab9-4ac9-9026-b46b70c9aa72.webp?v=1793224418"}],"url":"https:\/\/reevela.com\/collections\/torbjorn-bekken.oembed","provider":"Reevela","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
