Parker.
A generous chair with the quiet clarity of a continuous wood arm.
Comfort with
clear edges.
Parker balances a deep upholstered seat with solid wood arms that trace the chair's outline.
The arms flow into the legs, lending structure to a relaxed silhouette. The result has presence without visual heaviness: a chair that can sit alone in a quiet corner or anchor a conversational group.
Tailored upholstery softens the geometry, while the exposed wood gives the piece a precise line from every angle.
Danish roots, a Canadian design practice and a lifelong understanding of how furniture is made.
Born in Denmark in 1943, Niels Bendtsen moved to Canada in 1951 and founded Bensen in Vancouver in 1981. He learned furniture-making alongside his father, developing an approach that brings form, function and production into balance.
Parker reflects that sensibility: the wood frame gives the chair a clear structure, while its generous seat and tailored upholstery keep everyday comfort at the centre of the design.
Made for
daily use.
Bensen pairs a multi-density structural foam seat with a solid wood arm and leg frame. A removable dress cover makes care and future reupholstery more practical, while a low-gloss water-based clear coat lets the wood read naturally.
Equally at ease
alone or together.
In a pair, Parker's repeated wood line creates a deliberate rhythm. Used as a single chair, its open arms and raised base keep the room feeling light.
