Niels Bendtsen
Born in Denmark, Niels Bendtsen and his family immigrated to Canada in 1951. In place of a formal design education, he trained as an apprentice for his father, who designed and built Scandinavain furniture. Through working with his father, Bendtsen gained valuable skills and a respect for non-industrial, hand-built traditions, but he was also intrigued by new technologies and ways to satisfy incresing demand. Between 1963 and 1972, Bendtsen had his own retail store where he sold his father's furniture, as well as imported Scandinavian designs. He designed small items for the store, but it wasn't until he was in his early thirties that he truly began designing furniture. Dissatisfied with the quality and limited functionality of the furniture he received from his overseas manufacturers, Bendtsen sold his store, moved to Europe and became a full time designer.
Bensen is a design and manufacturing group founded in 1981 by Niels Bendtsen. Along with his staff, Bendtsen designs and oversees production of an extensive line of furnishings. The Bensen philosophy balances simplicity and honesty so that the designs may continue to grow in today's ever changing world.

As comfortable as it is stylish
Lauren, more than a month ago.
I had tried the low back version of this chair in the showroom but wanted the look and support of the high back. I also ordered the orange shade that I best fit my house without actually seeing the material beforehand. The chair arrived and the color was perfect, matched the online example perfectly. As soon as I sat in the chair I knew that it was better than expected. The sitting position is slightly reclined so is great for relaxing. I've actually fallen asleep twice in it. The style is perfect for my mid-century modern house, I couldn't be happier.
