A console with two drawers, a center flip down door and a platform base. A supporting fin separates the base from the body and makes for flexible storage with a weightless appearance. Cable management and considerable open storage space makes the Standard console well suited for media components. Standard is offered in a variety of wood veneers.

Solid wood edging and a mitred top edge allow for a sleek handle detail for the center door while the side drawers are opened from below and feature soft close hardware. The face of the unit is made of a single veneered panel ensuring pattern matching. The supporting fin is produced from steel plate then finished in a heat-cured black textured paint. Each base comes with imbedded levellers allowing for a perfect fit on any floor. Some assembly may be required.

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.
