Space Copenhagen has played with proportions and softer details to meet new demands in both domestic
and hospitality environments. The design can be adapted into L shapes, U shapes and bespoke sizes to suit
every space. The flexibility of this design lends itself to accommodate residential and commercial spaces such
as office reception areas and hotel lobbies.
Working closely with Benchmark, Space Copenhagen has created a simple design, highlighting the beauty of
the materials and the characteristic grain of the oak.
The Muse Sofa is available in both oak and ash, with a choice of subtle toned finishes with textile or leather
upholstery.
Both the OVO Collection and the Muse Sofa are made in the Benchmark workshop in rural West Berkshire,
England.

About Foster + Partners
Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in sustainability, which was
founded fifty years ago in 1967 by Norman Foster. Since then, he and the team around him have established
an international practice with a worldwide reputation for thoughtful and pioneering design, working as a
single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse. The studio integrates the skills of architecture with
several other disciplines in a collegiate working environment that is similar to a compact university. These
diverse skills make them capable of tackling a wide range of projects, particularly those of considerable
complexity and scale.
