The project was created for the annual Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition in 2018. The exhibition took place in the beautiful settings of Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen and its title “MONO”  stands for certain characteristics like those of e.g. monolithic and monocolour.

Lethe is a museum bench inspired by the classical forms, sensual structures and tactile qualities of Thorvaldsen’s sculptures. The piece is made of a bespoke material, where ultramarine glass is mixed with pigments and resin to form a crystalline texture. With its deep blue notes the bench invites reflective contemplation. The colour also suggests more ethereal connotations, striking an interesting contrast to the monolithic form. The project was kindly supported by Otto Bruuns Fond.
