Plank received “best product” award at the Interør & Bolig furniture fair in Grieghallen this weekend!

Plank has landed in London!
Plank sofa launched at 100% Norway exhibition in
Dray Walk Gallery Tent London 20 – 23 September 2012 during London Design festival.

The concept behind PLANK is a fascination with the massive broad floorboards from Dinesen Douglas spruce, and a wish to develop these enormous dimensions of solid wood to new products. The thick solid wooden base and back represent the main construction and create an impression of lightness and fluidity.

Plank will be exhibited at the curated exhibition 100% Norway at Dray Walk Gallery Tent London 20 – 23 September 2012 during London Design festival.

In February 2012, set designer Lise Christensen approached us again with an entirely new concept for a TV-program called ”Ettermiddagen” (Afternoon) for TV2. They needed a sofa with specific requirements as well as a round table. (Model Flake).
HUB is a modular system and the key concept is based on how the modules overlap.

Luna lamp has a hovering brass disk which reflects the light embeded in the base unit. The base unit is made of oak and porcelain.
The hovering brass disk is suspended from the ceiling and by tilting the disk you can direct the light were you need it.

Luna was developed in 2011 for a furniture
exhibition at Grieghallen Bergen Norway.

Sequence is a coat hanger with a simple compartment to store your keys, wallet or other small items. It is inspired by the repetitive and habitual actions of everyday living.

Sequence was developed in 2011 for a furniture
exhibition at Grieghallen Bergen Norway.

The project started after a request from set designer Lise Christensen who was working  for Norwegian
TV channel TV2 on a new studio for their popular
talk show ‘SENKVELD’. The concept was approved and the Norwegian furniture manufacture Fora Form
was asked to contribute with the development and production.
The concept has since then been developed further to a complete modular program of sofas for waiting areas and informal meeting places.

UP is a modular system where smaller and large modules can be combined to smaller or larger sofa systems.
UP is available in both curved and straight elements, both as sofas and benches

The concept for Vero is based on two integrated forms; one horizontal and one vertical. This visual concept resulted in the models Pago and Vero.
We wanted to give Vero a slightly lighter visual form by connecting the back and sides and pulling the seats away from the armrests. With its classical Scandinavian design basis Vero has a distinct visual character. The model is available in two heights; Vero high and Vero low.

Vero is fitted with cylindrical legs in solid wood or metal.

The concept for Pago is based on two integrated forms; one horizontal and one vertical. This visual concept resulted in the models Pago and Vero.
Pago is a large, comfortable sofa with deep seats to relax in. The seats and armrests constitute a visual unity. The back is constructed as an angular plate between the armrests and the base, which gives the model a particular definition and visual character.

Pago is available with cylindrical legs in wood or metal, flat or brushed steel.

Flake was developed as a commision for the TV-program ”Ettermiddag” (Afternoon) for TV2.
The table consists of 6 laminated veneer sections on which the table top rests on inner three sections and is fixed by the remaining three sections.

Loop is a new take on the ‘office lamp’. Very minimalist in design, chrome finish, and glossy white or black. With its simple elegance and the use of LED technology Loop becomes a sculpture as well as a lamp. Loop is adjustable as up- and downlight.

The concept for this model was a desire to design a rectangular, almost cubistic sofa with the solidity and sturdiness of the rectangular form while avoiding the visual impression of a cube. The view from the front emphasizes rhythm volume and weight, maintaining identical angles inside and out as
well as on the back.
