Strik is a snuggly armchair, that consists of a frame made of ash tree and a knitted upholstery made of wool – a wooden “body” wearing a knitted “sweater”. The upholstery is reversible and can also be used as a blanket. Based on its materials and idiom Strik is rooted in the North and inspired by how we wrap ourselves in warm clothes to protect us from the cold.
Birdstick is a small and flexible storage unit inspired by nesting boxes and trees. It consists of poles and three modules made of oak and acrylic. The nesting boxes are turnable and can be placed freely on the pole, using distance pieces and dowels made from oak. This way you are free to create your own piece of furniture and change the furniture’s expression.
Kristina Kjaer Hansen needed a little lamp that could hang on her clothing rack and provide additional lighting for her wardrobe, so she created Fungus, a small lamp for secondary lighting. Fungus is flexible and portable. The idiom is rooted in the Nordic nature’s mushrooms – hence the name “Fungus”. Fungus consists of a lampshade made of wool, a handle made of ash and a black textile cord.
