Architect Bo Seedorff

Location Copenhagen

For many years, designer and cabinetmaker Bo Seedorff has worked at the intersection of architecture and furniture design. In his practice, he deals with the planning of spaces, furniture, and lighting. Often in places where new meets old.

He took that idea with him when he recently had to build a kitchen for his daughter, Irene. In his studio in Amaliegade, where he has worked for over 35 years, he designed the kitchen, which was later built in the workshop on Østerbro.

When everything was finished, only a kitchen faucet was missing. Bo felt it would be wrong to install a random faucet in a kitchen that had been so thoughtfully designed. Instead, he took the SP faucet that had been installed in his own studio and which he had used every day for three decades. He even took the lamps from the studio and put them in the kitchen, Irene laughs as she tells the story.

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 Copenhagen 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.
