Furniture for the meeting places of tomorrow. This booklet contains furniture which questions the status quo and ’goes against the flow’. Nothing is here by accident – there is a point to everything we do. We want to combine the needs of users with innovative design, bring people together with unique, creative and flexible meeting places, and make our design a reality without compromising on materials or manufacturing methods. Here are the fruits of our labour. Design for a purpose. 15. Elephant, Neo, Stack, Monolog

This year’s newcomer: Boullée. The Newcomer award is our way of honouring bold young designers. Every year we choose a winner whose idea we think deserves to become reality and a part of our range. Read more about the project at materia.se. Boullée is a multi-faceted piece combining the properties of an ergonomic pilates ball and a piece of sculptural upholstered furniture. Its unique shape counterbalances the monotony of sitting still and provides a dynamic seating experience during which you can move about and balance on the furniture using the weight of your body. Boullée encourages participants...

Here we have a small and versatile stool which is easily accessed and ready for impromptu meetings at workstations, or good simply as extra seating in meeting rooms or lounge environments. Cap has a straightforward, self-explanatory design which takes its inspiration from thimbles and hats. Its distinct shape and light weight means moving it could not be more simple. Cap is made from recycled, fitted felt, which creates a sound absorbing effect. The plastic ring is available in five different colours. A stacking trolley is available as an optional extra. Blankets are something we have got used...

Couture Couture is a flexible range of furniture best described as a modern take on traditional 1950s and 1960s handicraft. The seats, which in terms of textiles have features such as quilting and upholstered buttons, are built on a decorative base that creates an exciting in-between space and provides practical ’unloading’ surfaces. The aim with this piece was to find a new way of combining functions and to create an item of furniture with a homely feel that also helps you to work more easily – for example by having access to power sockets directly in the sofa. A restrained design language is...

Amore High bar tables with just one base are often unstable and rickety. Amore is a unique solution to this problem as it allows two tables to support each other. The design creates a unique look as well as being able to withstand a heavy load without losing its stability. The shape created by the two table tops merging resembles an embrace and makes you think of two people in love, hence the name for the piece. Amore is available as a coffee table and bar table, in a range of different heights, table tops and white or black materials. Neo Lite Neo Lite is the latest addition to the Neo series....

Hal Hal is a new visual take on adjustable tables and provides an alternative to conventional T-leg designs. The design has been adapted for ad-hoc meetings, offering a smart solution that is expressive as a design without needing to sacrifice the table’s stability. The design is based on the idea that the area covered by the legs adjusts in line with the height. Wheels are fitted to the legs, so when the table is raised, this increases the frame’s load bearing area and provides more stability. Hal comes with either a round or rectangular table top. Lotus Inspiration for the Lotus waste paper...

One o’clock One o’clock is a homage to clean and simple design idioms, manufactured from injection-moulded polypropylene. The bowlshaped base gives the clock more volume and a three-dimensional shape, contributing to the unique look. The hour and minute hands come in different shades of red, yellow, green or blue. Elephant, Neo, Stack and Monolog. Design: Anders Berg Steinar Hindenes Petter Knudsen We have put together a collection of new products which we hope already feel familiar. Our Elephant, Neo, Stack and Monolog furniture series are growing and complemented by new models. Elephant bench...
