Skagerak by Fritz Hansen Cutter Collection

Our homes are as diverse as our lifestyles, and over time, the way we use our spaces often evolves. As our needs change, the furniture that once served a specific purpose might need to adapt or be repurposed. This is where the genius of Skagerak by Fritz Hansen’s Cutter Collection comes into play. Originally conceived for hallways and closet spaces, this collection of Scandinavian minimalist furniture has proven to be incredibly versatile, finding utility in nearly every room of the house—and even outdoors. Crafted from solid wood, each piece in the Cutter Collection exemplifies the brand's commitment to high-quality design that blends functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Entryways and Hallways

The entryway is the first space that greets you when you come home, and it often serves as a catch-all for coats, shoes, bags, and other daily essentials. However, it doesn’t have to be a cluttered or chaotic space. Skagerak by Fritz Hansen’s Cutter Collection offers a minimal approach to entryway design that’s both functional and visually appealing.

The Cutter Bench in Teak is a prime example of this. Its sleek lines and solid wood construction make it a beautiful addition to any entryway, providing a convenient spot to sit while lacing up shoes or dropping off a bag. To keep the area tidy, the Cutter Box, designed to fit perfectly beneath the bench, is an ideal storage solution. Mounted on four tiny wheels, this box can easily be rolled out when needed, providing a discreet place to store items you regularly grab on your way out.

For those seeking even more functionality, the Cutter Wardrobe is a masterpiece of minimalist design. This 3-in-1 piece combines a coat rack, shelf, and storage unit into one elegant solution. Wall-mounted and crafted from solid wood, it adds warmth and sophistication to any hallway or entryway. Pair it with a small Cutter Box for added storage on the shelf, and you have a compact yet highly functional space that keeps clutter at bay.

If your entryway is short on space, the Cutter Stool is a more compact option that still offers plenty of functionality. Styled alongside the Cutter Wardrobe, the natural oak material adds warmth and lightness, making the entryway both practical and inviting.

Living Rooms

The versatility of the Cutter Collection truly shines in living and dining areas. The Cutter Bench and Cutter Stool were originally designed as seating, but they can be used in so many other ways. For example, the Cutter Bench in Oak can serve as a stylish platform for displaying art prints. When entertaining guests, simply lean the prints against the wall and use the bench for extra seating.

The Cutter Stool is equally versatile. While it functions beautifully as a seat, it also makes a stunning side table. Its minimalist design can be styled with a tray for a more solid surface, transforming it into a bedside table or an accent piece in the living room. If additional storage is needed, the large Cutter Box fits perfectly beneath the stool, making it an excellent solution for storing toys, small blankets, or other odds and ends.

In a living room, the Cutter Bench can also be used as a platform for displaying plants, with the bright green foliage contrasting nicely against the black bench. This setup could easily transition to an outdoor space, providing plants with extra sunlight during warmer months.

Bedrooms and Closets

Bedrooms and closets are often spaces where clutter can accumulate, but with the Cutter Collection, keeping things tidy and aesthetically pleasing is effortless. The Cutter Wardrobe is a beautiful solution for bedrooms lacking closet space. Its minimalist design is not only functional but also inspires a more curated approach to clothing storage. The hooks are perfect for hanging scarves, bags, and accessories, while the rack offers ample space for garments. The shelf above can be used to display larger bags or shoes, or you can opt for a large Cutter Box to store less sightly items.

In a walk-in closet or smaller bedroom, the Cutter Stool provides compact seating that can also double as a side table. Paired with the Cutter Bench in Oak and its matching large Cutter Box, your space becomes a multifunctional area that serves both as seating and storage. The bench and boxes could also be styled at the foot of your bed, offering a stylish solution for storing extra blankets, linens, or seasonal clothing.

Outside

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Cutter Collection is its ability to transition seamlessly from indoor to outdoor spaces. The Cutter Bench and Cutter Stool are both crafted from teak, a wood that is not only beautiful but also highly durable and weather-resistant. The Cutter Bench in Teak looks stunning against clean white walls, and its simple design allows it to be used as both seating and a platform for displaying plants.

On a smaller patio or balcony, the bench provides a compact yet stylish seating option. It can also double as a coffee table, making it a versatile piece for outdoor entertaining. The timeless design of the Cutter Collection ensures that it will complement any outdoor furniture you already own, particularly pieces with a Scandinavian minimalist aesthetic.

The Cutter Collection by Skagerak by Fritz Hansen exemplifies the brand’s commitment to creating furniture that is as versatile as it is beautiful. Originally designed for hallways and closets, these minimalist pieces have found their place in every corner of the home, from entryways to living rooms, bedrooms, and even outdoor spaces. Whether you’re looking to declutter your entryway, add a stylish yet functional piece to your living room, or create a more organized bedroom, the Cutter Collection offers endless possibilities. Each piece is a testament to the timeless appeal of Scandinavian design, bringing warmth, functionality, and elegance to your home.
