From Stockholm with love

The exhibition, which has been presented for the third consecutive year, showcased five new products, four of which will go into production.  

The Plaid dividers for Abstracta seeks to create a more tangible, playful office space divider. If can either be draped over a existing frame or suspended from the ceiling.

The nifty Plug lamp for Atelje Lyktan combines two functions in one; a plug and a lamp. The Form Pendants are a collection of elegant pendant light that can either be used individually or en mass.

Probably the most interesting of the designs is the Slab vases for Cosentino Silestone. Although the vases wont go into production due to the prohibitive cost, it is an elegant exploration of materiality. The engineered stone was cut into three different circles which can be stacked “like grown up Lego” to create variation of the vase.

One the otherhand the Bento Chair for One Nordic Furniture Company holds create commercial promise. In IKEA style the concept was to create a chair that could be easily shipped since it will be sold online. Using bent wood technology the studio designed a chair with four components that can be assembled using no tools or instructions. The designers said that they wanted it to an intuitive assembly so that anyone can put it together with being design savvy. In form the chair flirts with Alvar Aalto aesthetics and depending on price point it is sure to be a hit. They have already also designed a table in the Bento series.
