Cutter 120 is a bench from the Cutter series, designed in collaboration with Danish designer Niels Hvass for Fritz Hansen. The series draws its formal inspiration from the German Bauhaus movement — an influence that is evident in the design's emphasis on functional clarity, geometric precision, and the coherent integration of seat and frame into a unified structural logic.
The Cutter bench features a slatted wooden seat set on a coherent steel frame, a combination that balances material warmth with structural efficiency. The design is minimalistic and disciplined, with detailing that rewards close inspection without drawing attention away from the overall form. Its versatility across different interior contexts — from residential hallways and entrance spaces to public settings — reflects the Bauhaus principle that good design should serve a broad range of uses without modification.
The Cutter 120 is well suited to hallways, entrance halls, and reception areas, as well as more open residential and hospitality spaces where a practical seating element of genuine design quality is required. It is available in a range of finishes and can be combined with other pieces from the Cutter series to create a coherent storage and seating system.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
