BRANCHMARK (O) TABLE
Branchmark (O) is the round version of Branchmark (4). Without a frame and with chamfered edges it has a light, but distinct appearance. The smaller versions (100cm and 120cm diameter) come with three conus-shaped legs with branches while the large one (150cm diameter) rests on four legs with branches. Unlike many frameless tables, Branchmarks are all rock firm and stable, a credit to the mastery of knowledge on static forces at Wingårdhs architecture practice.
BRANCHMARK (3) TABLE
The idea behind Branchmark is to celebrate the joy of vertical forces by the remarkably stable wonder on three legs. One of the three legs is branching for added sturdiness and character. Leg endings, one of them hand-carved, create playful marks on the top’s surface. The craft is celebrated through the hand-carved narwhal tusk inspired leg.
BRANCHMARK (4) TABLE
Branchmark (4) is a rectangular table that comes in four different standard sizes. The table has four conus-shaped legs, which give birth to two thinner branches close to the tabletop, which creates not only a beautiful design detail, especially since both the main branches and the unicorn leg penetrate the tabletop to leave playful markings on the tabletop surface as an attestation of fine craftsmanship. Without a frame and with chamfered edges the tables have a light, but charismatic appearance. All branchmark tables were designed in a way that makes them equally suitable for residential and commercial dining as well as work environments.
WINGÅRDHS
“For us, architecture is art. We can surprise our clients with qualities they didn’t know they wanted.”
Wingårdhs is arguably one of the most respected architectural firms in Sweden. Founded by Gert Wingårdh in 1977 it today employs nearly 200 people. The office pays great attention to details and the projects span every aspect from the urban scale to the private space, including interior and landscape architecture. Notable projects are the Swedish Embassies in Berlin and Washington DC, Aula Medica at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and the recent restoration of the National Museum in Stockholm. Gert Wingårdh graduated as an architect SAR/ MSA, 1975 at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. Gert Wingårdh has continually participated in numerous architectural competitions and has an excellent track record over the years, some of the more recent being an addition to Liljevalchs Art Museum in Stockholm, as well as a majestic water tower in the south of Sweden. Buildings designed by Gert Wingårdh are frequently nominated to the European Mies van der Rohe Awards, have received awards by America Institute of Architects and is the recipient of the most prominent Swedish Architectural award (the Kasper Salin Prize) a unique five times.
We have been introduced to Gerth Wingårdh and Sara Helder by Monica Förster in 2014 and have been successfully collaborating since, not only on product designs for the Zanat collection, but also on some amazing interior projects designed by Wingårdhs, where Zanat craftsman and engineers have been challenged to make some breathtaking bespoke products such as hand-carved movable wall panels and bars, as well as furniture designed for specific clients such as Volvo and the Lijevalch museum.
