The 8000 Series by Magnus Olesen represents a timeless fusion of functionality, durability, and Scandinavian design excellence. Originally created in 1981 by designers RUD Thygesen and Johnny Sørensen, this iconic seating collection has been a staple in Danish schools and institutional spaces, as well as notable venues like Copenhagen’s original Café Victor. The series is celebrated for its innovative screw-free construction, which ensures both strength and lightweight portability.

With its relaunch, the 8000 Series by Magnus Olesen introduces a fresh palette of vibrant complementary colors alongside muted tones. This approach aligns with contemporary design trends while retaining the classic appeal of the seating. The expanded color range also provides greater flexibility for interior design as it enables the chairs and stools to be seamlessly integrated into a variety of aesthetics.
