P. Tendercool's seating collection was developed by founders Pieter Compernol and Stéphanie Grusenmeyer together with French designer Jérôme Barrier. Its restrained geometry reflects their shared admiration for Bauhaus principles and the work of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, translated into an original contemporary design language.

One of the collection's defining details is its cross-profiled solid brass structure. The idea originated in the Barcelona Pavilion, where Mies van der Rohe used cross-shaped steel columns to support the building's precisely composed planes.

At P. Tendercool, this architectural profile is reinterpreted in extruded solid brass. Each section is cut, shaped and welded by hand. A brass leg supports the reclaimed teak frame, rises around it to form an armrest or headrest and returns towards the floor on the opposite side. What appears minimal is the result of exact construction and highly skilled metalwork.

Rather than concealing its structure beneath upholstery, the collection makes its construction fully visible. Brass, reclaimed teak, latex and fabric remain clearly defined, each material performing its own function.

This open architecture gives the furniture its visual lightness and allows the pieces to be placed freely within a room. The back is considered as carefully as the front.

The wooden frames are made from reclaimed teak sourced in Thailand. The timber is recovered from old houses, rice barns and other structures built when teak was still used extensively throughout the country.

Each piece of wood is individually selected and worked by hand. Former joints, filled nail holes and subtle variations in tone may remain visible, revealing traces of the material's earlier life. Rather than being corrected or disguised, these details become part of the finished piece.

The result is not artificially distressed wood, but genuinely aged teak whose surface and character could only have developed over time.

Inside the precise architectural frame is a generous seat made from natural latex. Pillows and bolsters soften the linear construction, while the low proportions create an informal and deeply comfortable place to sit, rest or recline.

The three- or four-seater can also become a guest bed simply by removing its loose cushions and bolsters, revealing the full latex mattress beneath.

Each sofa and daybed is made to order in Bangkok. For individual projects, bespoke adaptations to dimensions, brass finishes and upholstery can also be developed upon request to suit the specific requirements of the space.

Clients may choose from our selected velvets and cotton-linen fabrics or work with us to source a material for a specific interior. Versions for outdoor use are also available with quick-dry foam and suitable performance fabrics.

From the selection of reclaimed teak to the final welding, finishing and upholstery, every stage is carried out by specialist hands.

The finished pieces bring together architectural clarity, exceptional materials and the unmistakable character of something made individually rather than produced anonymously.
