WRAP CHAIR MAKES ITS LONDON DEBUT

The Wrap easy chair, produced by the Swedish furniture manufacturer Stolab, made its debut at this year’s London Design Festival. Wrap, which is the company’s first upholstered product, takes its starting point from the designer’s intention to create a product that possesses a character that is grand in gesture, but not in dimensions.

Although the Wrap chair adheres to the traditions within Stolab, it also follows the precedence of a soft, feminine edge and a timeless quality that previous designs, such as Hundranian and Miss Holly - also produced by Stolab - had already created. The backrest is upholstered over a wood laminate base, and the legs are made of oak. The seat is also upholstered and is removable, rendering it suitable for both public and private spaces. Following the concept to create a chair that, even though it may appear quite imposing, it should not take up too much space, minimal padding was used for the back’s upholstery.
 
The Wrap chair is available in a range of fabrics and colours, and is aimed at both contract and residential markets.

Exhibition: Jonas Lindvall - arkitektur, inredning, design - Landskrona Konsthall 31.10.15 - 13.12.2015 / October 5, 2015

JONAS LINDVALL - ARKITEKTUR, INREDNING, DESIGN - COMES TO LANDSKRONA KONSTHALL

The solo exhibition, organised by Landskrona Konstförening, will offer visitors unique insight into the designs of one of Sweden’s leading names in architecture and design. Models, drawings and prototypes sit alongside classics from Lindvall’s extensive back catalogue of designs, taking viewers on a visual journey of a creative career that spans more than 20 years.
From the Papa chair, produced by Skandiform, to Stolab’s Miss Holly chair and the Wästberg w124 lamp, both considered modern classics, all these examples and more illustrate the designer’s talent for creating new classics that reflect a spirit of modernity, whilst maintaining a profound respect for traditional craft skills and techniques. “My aim is to create objects that have a familiar quality through a connection with the history of the object, yet are - at the same time - interesting and modern.”

Jonas Lindvall - arkitektur, inredning, design - will be on show at Landskrona Konsthall from 31st October - 13th December, 2015. A press viewing will take place from 13:00-15:00 on 31st October.
