Busk + Hertzog is a Danish design team created by Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog in 2000. They are well-known for their award-winning furniture designs.[2] Both designers, Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog, are two of the most awarded Danish designers. They have won international design awards such as the Red Dot Awards,[1] IF Awards, and Good Design Awards.[3]

Busk + Hertzog is based in London, England. Many designs of the team have been exhibited at design museums internationally.[2] They are also included in the Danish Design Museum database for historic Danish Design and all of their designs are listed in the museum's online library.[4]

History

Busk + Hertzog was founded in 2000 by Flemming Busk and Stephan Hertzog.[5] Busk received a master in architecture and design from the School of Architecture in Aarhus, Denmark and Hertzog had experience in the textile industry. They met in Aarhus and have been designing together ever since. In the early years, Busk worked as the designer while Hertzog worked in a business capacity for the team.[2] In 2010, the team moved to London in order to find new inspiration for their designs.[6] [7] They were awarded the "Furniture Prize" in 2008 at the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen by the furniture industry in Denmark. The Furniture Prize . The prize, which was instituted by the Foundation of the Association of Furniture Manufacturers, was awarded for the first time in 1970.[8] Among the previous prize recipients are prominent design icons such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen og Poul Kjærholm.[9] [10] [11]

The design duo was in 2004 among the Danish designers taking part in the Danish Design Project at MoMa, New York where their "Lotus" chair was selected by Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) curators for the project.[12]

Design style and influences

Busk + Hertzog's designs have been described as "clean" and "minimalist", yet sculptural,[13] incorporating horizontal and vertical lines and geometric shapes.[14] Their designs combine bold colours with clear indications of their Danish design heritage.[15]

Busk + Hertzog develop their design ideas from physical research into furniture, and from examining shapes and lines in nature.[13] They also visit locations where their furniture is in use in order to receive inspiration. Busk has been quoted as saying, "to be allowed to sit in all anonymity and see that our design was actually used, as we had thought, was very large. We are honoured to have prices, but we design furniture to be used by all, and therefore find it much more satisfying to meeting our products in real life."[15]

Designs

Busk + Hertzog have designed furniture for retail sales as well as for major companies throughout the world. Their work has been on display at the Royal House of Norway, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Norwegian Embassy in Helsinki, and the Carnegie Trust.[16] Their designs are included in the Design Within Reach catalog which sells furniture both online and in stores in the United States. They have also designed furniture for CNN International headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and Nordea in Stockholm, Sweden.[2]

Awards

Busk + Hertzog have won a multitude of awards since its inception. Some of the most notable awards include the Red Dot Awards, IF Awards, and Good Design Awards. Most recently, they were given the IF Product Design Award for their "Bubbles" design awarded by International Forum Design.[17]
