Cooperation with a new designer
Jonas Forsman is the young man behind the foldable table Clip. He is a fresh designer who just finished his studies from Chalmers Technical School were he studied design and product development. The table Clip is his exam work, and to succeed in making the ultimate foldable table for conference rooms and rooms that need flexible solutions, he studied all the foldable tables that is already existing worldwide. The result is a very simple and easy to handle mechanism, without anything to screw or tighten, a tension leg is fixed into a plastic holder of POM. The table has a lightweight tabletop in laminated with a edge in aluminium, the legs are in tubular chromed steel. First delivery was made autumn 2005 to the two pavilions for Ericson Racing Team in the Volvo Ocean Race. Clip was shown to the public for the first time at 100% design in Tokyo November 2005.
Sting family grows
The newest baby in the Sting chair family is the barstool and kitchen barstool Gecco, seat in aluminium that is anodised in natural, black, red or orange. The seat can also be lacquered in white. Stainless steel legs. The barstool is stackable in both heights which we see as a great advantage for certain projects.
Designers are Fredrik Mattson and Stefan Borselius.
A round Sofa with an outer diameter of four and a half meter
The Fatback easy chair and sofa system has a new add on section, a whole circle of these sections consists of 20 pieces, so to make a 90 degree corner you need 5pieces. The add on section is possible to link together with the straight section. When Fatback is used as easy chairs we recommend to use the straight section and the round section only as an add on section. A big circle will have an outer diameter of 4,5 metres and an inner diameter of 2,5 meter. Designer: Fredrik Mattson
The smallest of rooms
In times when we are breaking down existing barriers to facilitate meetings and shared encounters, new needs soon arise for seclusion. The Peekaboo wing-chair that was shown for the first time last Stockholm Furniture Fair 2005, a modern wing-chair with a possibility to add a hood in formfelt (the material is in itself sound absorbing) to create a small oases, a small room of your own. Peekaboo is now presented with new clothes ready for delivery. The moulded formfelt can be in Grey, Black or White and has been laminated with Alcantara on the inside to give a surface that is soft, comfortable and has a strong hold. For the first time ever possible on a product were the challenge to succeed in pressing the material to it’s outer limits was already in itself an impossibility that became possible.

From the consumer’s point of view…
What makes someone spontaneously go into a shop and buy something?
Is it the appearance, the price, the box, the colour, the design, the size, the need? On the small coffee table Occhio we started the design process from the “other end” with the question; why do you buy? The result is not a revolution nor an innovation yet a very useful, easy to place, multipurpose tray/coffee table that comes in various patterns and colours in a beautiful flat box, knock-down to a good price… good design for everyone or Prada/Ikea the Blå Station way.
Design: Fredrik Mattson & Stefan Borselius.
