JACKLESS WOOD PLYBORD LIV

Peace, Love & Good Design! We have missed our meeting places, but now we are back! Our chairs, sofas, bar stools, tables are supposed to be used, to be sit in, to be touched, even caressed, and of course tested in all possible ways. Good design challenges all our senses, but the virtual world is merely visual and without any real taste until we have access to future bio ports and biometric readers that access the totality of our bodies nerve system, but that’s in the future. We want the attention from you: architects, producers, journalists, everyone with interest. We want your reactions, your...

MAXIMUS | Johan Ansander | 2O21 | OM & MAX | Johan Ansander | 2O23 MAXIMUS - Heavy duty all wood easy-chair. Love at first sight. Sturdy and soft, and like it’s sketched as a comic strip furniture piece, but made out of solid ash. Maximus is a playful departure from angular and rational furniture with a mimetic attitude reminiscent of Keith Haring. Johan Ansander created Maximus as his master degree project at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design 2020 and was immediately approached by Blå Station. He has a keen interest in the malleability of materials and creating Maximus he used...

OM - a true innovation. Light and nimble, and very comfortable, Johan Ansander’s new chair presents a generously slender seat supported by minimal construction. An expertly molded piece of plywood turn the hind legs into an accommodating backrest. The same thinly cut plywood is used for the front legs and the enclosing rim, all with a precise geometry that allow for a play of shadows and light to set off the lightness of the design even further. At only 4,5 kilos, OM is a pure lightweight chair both for hand and eye. OM is made in European oak or ash; dyed colors are optional along with padded...

MAX is the dressed up version of Maximus, Johan Ansander’s playful and iconic easy chair presented in 2021. If Maximus was softly shaped in massive wood, Max offers soft comfort fully clothed with a springy lushness. The craftsmanship expressed in the precise seams endows Max with a distinct character and a mimetic attitude that will let any space look alive. The comfort is excellent thanks to nosaq springs covered with molded foam all held in place by an exact and quite demanding stitching process. The expanding fabric makes Max look slightly larger in life than Maximus, but that is just an...

TURN A solitaire for the home or for the office, a table for the in-between spaces. Use Turn as a side-table for cups, glasses, or books. Or as a pedestal table with flowers or precious art pieces. Use the lowest of three available heights as a sofa table. Or the high one as a worktable for a laptop or tablet. Turn is as content in the hybrid workspace as in a private home, and will easily reconfigure any space highlighting objects and bring about social interactions among people. Being made all in wood, with a shaft of steel for enhanced stability, Turn display a natural feel as well as going...

JACKLESS WOOD | Borselius & Bernstrand | 2O22 JACKLESS WOOD, a sustainable innovation. Jackless has been reincarnated all in wood, a small technological feat without precedence. Never before has a cone this big been made in wood with such perfect form and without almost any waste of material. The original version by Stefan Borselius and Thomas Bernstrand came with a tabletop in aluminum and a cone in steel. Now Jackless is all made of a single sheet of wood veneer on top of recycled paper bringing down the carbon footprint to a minimum, and the form itself strong enough to let an elephant dance...

RUT sofa | PLYBORD table

PLYBORD | Johan Lindau | 2O21 Sit on it, sit around it, or create a little cityscape at home or in any kind of public setting. Plybord is that missing furniture piece that is always needed. If it is a seat, a stool, or a table doesn’t matter; it is there to be used. Easy to move around, and perfect as a plaything for kids and adults. And left alone it stands out in own right: mimetic boxes that makes one think of cities not yet visited, of cases to pack, of secrets hidden away. Johan Lindau got smitten by the challenge to turn well-tempered pine plywood into objects of desire. He experimented...

LIV - more than just a table. Is it an abstract sculpture? A mimetic design resembling a face? Or is it just a little table? Ola Giertz’s LIV is all of it in an imaginative composition in perfect balance. A clear-cut graphic design with a strong character beyond mere functionality. Place LIV at a sofa, by a desk, or freestanding all alone or in company with its peers. LIV literally means life in Swedish, and LIV will enliven any kind of space with a design that is more than its individual parts: a cylinder for stability, a rectangle with rounded corner for height, and a flat round table top....
