FUNCTIONSPACE

The bench comes in three sizes, and can be used in either free-standing or combination mode with back and support elements creating an easy chair, 2 or 3 seater sofa. The bench base, in wood or steel, is a straightforward expression of Nordic simplicity. The curved back surrounds the seat and is available in two heights, assuming a complimentary or a commanding presence in the interior, adding visual and acoustical privacy.

The Portus seating series offers many possibilities – a stopping point, a meeting point, a relaxing space or a sharing space – all created by the combination of three simple elements: a soft sculptural bench, an ergonomic support cushion, and a shapely back.

ADD DESIGN ANYA SEBTON

The Add chair is a further development of the flexible and graphic Add stool series. The contemporary workplace is an active seating area, and the Add stool has brought convenience to the active worker: Sit. Stand. Go!

Comfort has become even more important to the worker on the go. Now it’s good to: Pause. Sit back. Relax! Anya Sebton explains: “I made the back of the chair quite generous and embracing in its shape.” Three heights. Three angles. One comfortable back.

PAUSE. SIT BACK. RELAX.

COMET X DESIGN GUNILLA ALLARD

With its thin, extra high back Comet X constitutes yet a complement to the Comet family. Making it possible to use Comet in environments with a wide range of needs and requirements, from the quick, active, meeting to the elegant meeting room for a daylong conference. The chair is fully upholstered, with stitched end seams creating a stylistic detail. The integrated lower back cushion adds to its comfort.

CLASSIC YET MODERN

GRADE DESIGN JOHANNES FOERSOM & PETER HIORT-LORENZEN

Grade brings a new level of design sophistication to the plastic stacking shell chair category with its subtly reliefed polypropylene shell and choice of materials and color schemes. The chair shell is available in three colors of molded polypropylene – white/grey, graphite, and beige – with or without the optional seat pad available in three versions.

In addition to the steel frame and swivel base Grade is now available with wooden legs. The pleasant meeting between wood and polypropylene adds a soft expression to the chair. Grade can be appreciated as a single stand-alone design, or as a seating solution for the largest conference. Match in monochrome or contrast with color, the choice is yours.

THE CHAIR’S DESIGNERS EXPLAIN:

“THE CHAIR IS A TOTALITY OF SHAPE

– OF THE SHELL, THE PADDING

AND THE FRAME.”

SEATING COMFORT AND A STRONG VISUAL IDENTITY

GRADE DESIGN JOHANNES FOERSOM & PETER HIORT-LORENZEN

FUNK DESIGN JOHANNES FOERSOM & PETER HIORT-LORENZEN

The addition of cast aluminum as a frame option expands the functional, aesthetic and environmental value of the Funk table series. The dynamic, strong simple bases are available either polished or in a range of powder coat colors; tops are available in white/grey or graphite melamine and ash veneer, natural or stained. The visual identity of Funk remains; the appeal of Funk reaches new levels.

The grace of Gunilla Allard’s signature clean-lined style has been given a new functional practicality with the addition of a linoleum top option on the 50 cm round Cinema table. The linoleum surface adds a soft matte feeling to the consistent beauty of the Cinema table family. Colors available are charcoal and mushroom. The same size is now also available with a top of natural or stained ash veneer.

JOHANNES FOERSOM PETER HIORT-LORENZENWorking as partners since 1977, Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen approached Lammhults in 1986 with the idea to cooperate in the creation of a new set of furniture designs for the international marketplace. Following the success of their first upholstered pieces, Peter & Johannes brought international acclaim to Lammhults with the Campus chair in 1992.

Guided by the principle that furniture must not dominate its surroundings, Peter Hiort-Lorenzen & Johannes Foersom set out to create strong, silent designs. As Peter explains: “The hardest part of our work is to reach the point where our designs are totally clear, the point where all the ‘noise’ is gone from the design.”

Light, precise and practical, the measure of success of the designs done by Peter & Johannes for Lammhults is in the extensive international design awards they have won. Lammhults seating and tables by Peter & Johannes can be found in the most prestigious interiors of homes and offices around the world.

ANYA SEBTONAnya Sebton’s earliest association with fine design was in her childhood home in Stockholm. Influenced by the works of internationally famous Scandinavian designers that surrounded her, Anya pursued an academic program of studies in interior architecture and design.

When Anya Sebton graduated from Beckmans School of Art, in Stockholm, she was recognized by Svensk Form by being one of three designers represented at the Young Nordic Design exhibition, which travelled around Europe. The product chosen was Multiplicity – a lounge chair with modular capabilities with a design inspired by the strict minimalist aesthetics of airplane seating. It was later delivered to several airport projects around the world followed by other succeeding Anya designs.

From these noteworthy beginnings, Anya has created a full range of innovative, functional products for Lammhults. Anya describes the consistent theme to all her works as disciplined research. “When I approach a design assignment, I research the field thoroughly, looking for a gap. In this way, what I design is not just another product, but an innovation on a theme.”

The designs of Anya Sebton are thoughtful and refined, demonstrating an intellectual rationale and a practical sensibility, as well as an innovative appeal.

GUNILLA ALLARDWith a background of working with several projects in the Swedish film industry, Gunilla enrolled at Konstfack, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, in 1983, to study interior and furniture design. In 1985 Gunilla was a visiting student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School in Copenhagen.

When newly graduated, in 1988, Gunilla was selected, as one of five students, to participate in a student workshop arranged by Lammhults, which led to the start of her carrier as a furniture designer. Gunilla became Lammhults first female designer and her continued work for Lammhults has resulted in a numerous range of furniture design. Cinema easy chair, designed for Lammhults in 1994, with details from old sports cars as a source of inspiration, is the most well-known of her designs. The statement of the jury of the George Jensen prize received in 1996, one of many prestigious awards received, well describes her products. ”… strict, minimalistic and elegant design. The proportions and details of her furniture reveal a genuine sense of quality.”

Gunilla´s collaboration with Lammhults during 20 years, as well as designing kitchens, glassware, lightning and carpets, makes her one of the foremost names in contemporary Scandinavian design.

LOVE ARBÉNLove’s interest for art, architecture and culture was something all of his family shared, which meant that an artistic expression was only natural. His collaboration with Lammhults started in 1989 after he had been selected to a workshop project where experienced and new designers could exchange ideas and inspire each other with new thinking. Lammhults’ designers Lindau & Lindekrantz acted as mentors for Love and this led to the start of a fruitful collaboration between Love and Lammhults.

Love Arbén is not only an architect SIR & SAR, he has also worked as a professor at the University College of Arts, Crafts & Design in Stockholm and has written several books within architecture. The clarity of design in the modernist movement appeals to Love and he talks of the simplicity of expression in the designs of this period as being clean – free of decoration. Modern furniture is at its best when it becomes “invisible”. The furniture recedes into its setting, serving not controlling its space.

BÖRGE LINDAUBO LINDEKRANTZAlready in the early 1960s Lammhults understood the value of strengthening their design identity and invited the design duo Lindau & Lindekrantz to work with them. In 1965, Lammhults asked Lindau & Lindekrantz to design a chair for public use. The answer was no, instead of one chair, Lindau and Lindekrantz offered two: Ritz and Royal. The chairs were the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration that was to last for two decades.

Over the course of the next 20 years, Lindau & Lindekrantz created scores of designs for Lammhults, establishing themselves and the company as a reference point for leading Scandinavian design. During Lammhults collaboration with Börge Lindau and Bo Lindekrantz, a number of important furniture designs were developed that paved the way for the Lammhults of today. For example the S70 series, launched in 1968, that for its time was very playful, clear and unique with its colorful furniture made of bent steel tubing. Lammhults first inhouse upholstered piece, Häcken sofa, was also a work of Lindau & Lindekrantz, as well as the classic Planka chair.

ANDREAS FARKASAndreas, born 1985 in Stockholm, Sweden, began his studies at KTH University College´s School of Architecture in 2005. During his studies he started thinking a lot about the architect´s role and responsibility, where to start and finish the shape of a building and how to relate to spaces and functionality. After his bachelor degree he applied to Konstfack, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, and got accepted. The master year gave him more creativity and perspective to what an architect and designer can do, working in a smaller scale and experiencing tools and craftsmanship in detail. In 2011, a course called: “Design Industry” introduced Andreas to Lammhults Möbel AB and after some sketchwork and research for a new, fresh design his first product for Lammhults, Dexter stool, was created.

LOVE ARBÉNLove Arbén is not only an architect, but also a professor at the university and a writer. Love is a man without free time, fully involved in every dimension of his life, but rich in the complexities he brings together at one single point.
