01.Venture



2025



Venture is a modular seating system designed to adapt to different spaces and environments. Inspired by proxemics, it supports both social interaction and personal comfort. Built from durable steel pipe modules—90-degree bends and straight segments—it can be configured to suit a wide range of contexts.

Venture gives users freedom. With no fixed backs or directions, people can sit how and where they like—alone or together, facing in or out. The system can support small, quiet moments or larger social zones. It works as part of a larger landscape or a clear stand-alone feature.

The design lets users intuitively choose closeness or distance, making it a tool for human-centered placemaking. With its industrial form and warm wooden seating, Venture balances structural clarity with tactile appeal. Easy to maintain and reconfigure, it’s built to adapt—over time and across environments.

2025



The inspiration behind the Favn stool is rooted in Scandinavian minimalism, with simplicity and functionality in the center. The idea was to make a versatile stool that can change with the house it lives in and the people in it. 

The cushion is easily detached from the legs and with an invisible zipper the cover can be removed to be cleaned, repaired or replaced, allowing it to be adaptable and functional. 

FAVN, which is Norwegian for “embrace,” got its name as the oak curves around and embraces the cushion, but the name also symbolizes inclusion and flexibility as it embrace different lifestyles, interior and people. 

Favn is designed so that it can function as an «extra» seat if needed by the dinner table or it can be a foot stool to the favorite lounge chair.  The cushion is flat on the top and made out of firm recycled cold foam so it can also function as a little side table. 

It’s been important to us to highlight natural materials, so in the prototype we have used oak and Norwegian wool for the cushion. The contrast between the hard wood and the soft wool gives it a harmonious and balanced look and we feel like that really emphasizes the usability and timelessness of Favn.

03.Pommel


2024


Pommel is the result of an exploration of form inspired by the leaf spring. The leaf spring was, earlier, the most common kind of suspension for carriages, trucks and cars. 

The name “Pommel” comes from the resemblance of the pommel used in gymnastics.
Pommels seat is distinct and gives the illusion that it is melting over the base before it settled and found its shape. 

The decision to use pine as material was not a coincidence, it ́s a common conception that pine is soft, we wanted to use this conception to enhance the form by playing with the inherent properties of pine.

Pommel might not take up much of your space, but it certainly draws your attention with its bold and contemporary expression.

2025



Pommel 2.0 is a variant of the original Pommel, but draws more from the typology and traits of a traditional stool than the original, but still carries a clear familiarity.

05.Arc



2024


Arc came from an interest of exploring simple shapes in a material not so frequently used. While the candles are lit, the perforating gives depth and liveliness to the shapes.
