OFFECCT initiates a cooperation with the Swedish design group Front by launching Green Pedestals – a piece of furniture for greenery and vegetation
Green Pedestals is part of OFFECCT’s OASIS project which is an assortment of design products, that combined with vegetation enhances and adds value to the work environment, specifically through a conscious use of greenery and an improved air quality. OASIS also offers possibilities to architects who are interested in adding green elements into their projects.
Green Pedestals enhances the plants with its elegant legs. Green Pedestals can be used as a room element, that for example functions as a room divider or creates a sort of an oasis. Some variants have dimensions that fits perfectly at the side of a desk, other fits in height next to a seat or a window. It is possible to add a seat or a table top to the round models, and by placing them in a row or in a group they form a sort of a bench that is surrounded by greenery.
“We were inspired by traditional pedestals. We think that the pedestal is a fantastic piece of furniture that needs a revival. With slim legs that are slightly irregular Green Pedestals receives a kind of a personality” says Sofia Lagerkvist, Front.
The cooperation between OFFECCT and Front has evolved over time, and the launch of the Green Pedestals is a first result of this collaboration.
“OFFECCT is one of the most interesting and important Swedish design companies, and we think it’s very inspiring to work with OFFECCT. We see Green Pedestals as a first step on our common road ahead” says Sofia Lagerkvist, Front.
