Inspiration from Stockholm

Back from one of our yearly recurring highlights, we look back upon intense and inspirational days in the Swedish capital. 

Topic number one in the Nordic countries is sustainability. Today it permeates practically every industry but has been part of the development process of leading furniture manufacturers for a long time already. For years have they not only asked themselves whether a product is functional or beautiful, but also if the product and its production is sustainable. And today they press forward even further to take a comprehensive view upon sustainability. This also means that next to using left over wood for heating, it is also looked upon as raw material for new products.

These companies put quality in the first room when developing their products. These should not only be durable but also outlive fleeting trends. They should be stand-alone products and not close "interpretations" of already existing designs. These companies continuously look for new ways to show the world what they have to offer and what they are leading in.

The names of the colours in the new Kasthall collection Feather comes from the nature. They are named after well-known birds: peacock, nandu, heron and flamingo. This source of inspiration is translated in a fabulous way onto this rug collection. The two different pile heights of wool- and linen-bouclé reflect the light just like the short feathers and the long extravagant linen fringes underline each bird's character.

The appealing combination of good craftsmanship and natural materials in the hands of the right designer can definitely bring about amazing results!

Here we go again: we are talking to Chris Martin at the stand of Massproductions and can't refrain from being fascinated. Each new design being launched by this company is as unexpected as it is original and goes straight to our hearts!

There's nothing different with the brand-new Draft tables.
