Modern retro
Modern retro offers the best of both worlds. Taking inspiration from the past, classic designs are given a contemporary update, becoming more streamlined, pared-back and modern.
3 key design elements of the modern retro trend
Having designed furniture since 1952, many of our pieces are influenced by the 1950s functionalism wave in Danish furniture design.
Retro touches
Adding vintage-inspired accessories to your space instantly gives it a retro feel. Think playful lamps, vases, cushions and mirrors.
Clean lines
The modern retro trend favours clean lines, functional design and a focus on simplicity. Choose furniture with a timeless silhouette.
Past and present
This trend taps into a desire for heritage and nostalgia but with a modern spin.
BoConcept has been designing furniture since 1952 and was strongly influenced by the 1950s functionalism wave in Danish furniture design so there is a constant dialogue with the past in many of its designs.
Sideboards such as Fermo and Lugano hold strong ties with some of the first pieces designed in the 1950s.
Our History
Timeless danish design since 1952
BoConcept has been designing, developing and producing furniture in Denmark since 1952 when Jens Ærthøj and Tage Mølholm opened a furniture factory in the small town of Herning.
Retro lover?
From the 1960s to the 70s, colour trends transformed from psychedelic to earthy, muted shades of nature with bold overtones. Rich oranges, yellows and greens joined shag pile and corduroy to create an ambience of warmth and comfort. There was a playful element too, with geometric shapes and mosaics imbuing a sense of movement and high energy. Today, many of us are falling for the retro 70s colour trend all over again, incorporating tones and textures that evoke on-trend nostalgia.
