Breaking the waves
Klaessons continues to build on its more than a century-old heritage of stylistically correct, functional furniture architecture. New for this year are innovative angles of approach at the junction between the strict, Scandinavian lines and modern public environments.
Mooses, chair – armchair
Design: Simo Heikkilä, Yrjö Wiherheimo
We created a bit of design history almost a decade ago when we launched our Flok chair. The Finnish designers Heikkilä and Wiherheimo broke tradition in a welcoming way when they created this chair with it innovative look, design and features. This year, they’re doing it again! The Mooses chair combines materials and technology in a refreshing and innovative fashion. The seat shell is moulded in an integrated process and is covered with needle-felt made of polyamide/polypropylene. The pressed felt has a tactile surface softness and is also extremely wear-resistant. While Mooses is neither upholstered nor non-upholstered – it is definitely inviting. It is available in two widths – a narrower version for restaurants, cafés and halls, and a more generous version for meetings and conferences.
Mayflower, bar stool
Design: Lars Pettersson, Thomas Bernstrand
Tremendous appreciation has been expressed for the interesting interplay between areas and lines, light and shadow, of our Mayflower series, which had its premier showing at last year’s Swedish Furniture Fair. With its prismatic structure, the Mayflower bar stool is a logical development of this concept. Distinctive, comfortable and easy to stack. An elegant and practical feature is the 45° foot rest, with its protective, injection-moulded plastic edging.
Mayflower, beam sofa
Design: Lars Pettersson, Thomas Bernstrand
The Mayflower beam sofa has the same expressive, elegant seat shell as the Mayflower chair. The beam’s logical modular construction offers maximum variation in the number of seats. Its load-bearing structure supports the weight of five persons without the need for extra legs. The seat shell is available in white, black or lime, with or without an upholstered seat.
