Rud Thygesen (1932 – 2019) graduated from the Royal Danish Academy in 1966 and founded a design studio with Johnny Sørensen in the same year. In 1969 Thygesen and Sørensen designed the Kongemøblerna (eng. The Kings furniture) a collection of furniture with a rigorous geometric design produced by Botium. Many of the duo's furniture have been used in public spaces, both nationally and internationally, such as the 1996 Partout café chair made for Copenhagen Airport. Thygesen & Sørensen's works for the Danish producer Magnus Olesen are the most prolific. Thygesen also collaborated with Kasper Salto. Sørensen and Thygesen are represented, among others, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Furniture Studies in Stockholm. In 1992 Rud Thygesen received the Bruno Mathsson Prize and the Japanese G Prize. He passed away at the age of 87 in 2019.
