Cobe and HAY reveal the Halftime Chair
Cobe and HAY reveal the design of the Halftime Chair. A chair designed and developed in a joint collaboration between Cobe and HAY, launched in connection with 3daysofdesign.
With a moulded veneer seat and back riveted directly to the steel-tube frame, Halftime is a resilient, stackable chair with a clear expression that perfectly balances lightness, strength, and functionality. Crafted by the desire to create an extremely strong and durable chair that can last generations and is versatile enough for a wide range of contexts, Halftime is suitable for use in institutions, factories, cafés, and boardrooms
“HAY’s designs give the impression that it’s OK to feel comfortable while using their products. Since we mostly design public buildings, cultural facilities and institutional structures, we’re always looking for ways to informalise formal spaces. I think that’s where HAY’s design principles and furniture shine”. — Dan Stubbergaard, Architect and Founder, Cobe.

Tingbjerg Library and Culture House is finalist for Danish Design Award 2019
Tingbjerg Library and Culture House is finalist for Danish Design Award 2019 in the category 'Livable Cities' – nominated with the following words from the Jury:
"The Tingbjerg Library and Culture House is a bold statement that addresses the notion of a marginalized area in the city and the notion of a library building itself. The store-front approach of displaying culture to the local community is very effective. Cobe have designed a building of both high quality and craftsmanship. The library helps bring back trust, community and public life to the area, thus contributing to a more liveable city."
Every year, Danish Design Award gathers the broad business life, the design industry and the entire country to celebrate the difference design solutions can make in socity and everyday life. The winner will be announced at the award show May 13 2019.

Cobe designs affordable housing in downtown Toronto
A client group consisting of Dream Unlimited, Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited and Tricon Capital Group has commissioned Cobe to develop a large scale mixed-use residential development in Toronto’s downtown east in collaboration with architectsAlliance.
Consisting of three buildings, two of which Cobe has designed, the project contains 761 market rental apartment units including 30 percent affordable rental units which are indistinguishable in their design. Located in a former industrial area, called West Don Lands, the site is an intersection of three distinct neighbourhoods. The project stacks the architectural components from the three neigbourhoods: townhouses, warehouses and silos, creating a complex that both adapts to its surroundings and contributes by adding new distinctive, robust architecture. The project provides all residents with a generous apartment, flooded with light through floor-to-ceiling windows and access to attractive amenity spaces. All in all the project encourages public life and a sense of community among the residents and the local community
Groundbreaking takes place mid-2019, and completion is scheduled for early 2022. The project is one of four Cobe is currently undertaking in North America.
