A few weeks has passed since Stockholm Furniture Fair and we’ve been given time to catch our breath and reflect over this year’s participation. We can only say that it once again has been an amazing experience to participate. Our Sales Director Per Johan Ericson is over the moon. – I’m happy to say that we found Stockholm Furniture Fair 2024 to be a big success! The post pandemic discussions have been putting a question mark to the traditional fair concepts but after completing the Stockholm Furniture Fair we could not be happier that we still have this venue. We had the opportunity to meet up with so many existing and new contacts, making this year’s fair one of our best SFF experiences to date! We showcased our new collaboration hybrid table – Together Mini, that we’ve been developing together with Spectrum Arkitekter, which received a lot of positive attention. We aimed to present a piece of furniture to the market that will make a change in people’s work life in terms of being functional, aesthetically appealing and being suitable for several areas of use – the result of this is Together Mini (and the bigger version Together). A unique and innovative multifunctional solution for individual work with the ability to quickly switch into gathering for meetings; physical, digital and hybrid, or simply for some group work together. Ulf Almfeldt, one of the architects behind Together (Mini), says that Together Mini is a response to the market’s demand for work stations where individual work can easily be combined with group work. Furthermore, he points out that according to Leesman 62% of our working time is spent on individual work. The remaining 38% is used for some form of collaboration. Therefore, there should be more investments in, and a bigger focus on work stations for individual work that function optimally, promotes well-being and are aesthetically pleasing. – Together Mini is a piece of furniture that is the answer to all these wishes, Ulf emphasizes. Another fantastic outcome of our collaboration with Spectrum Arkitekter, Boomerang, drew attention with its tiltable table top, especially with the added whiteboard function. Visitors to our stand saw the value in being able to use the whiteboard in different ways i.e scribbling together during group activities, using while presenting something, or making own personal notes. We also mean that Boomerang is a perfect table for workplaces that need to be able to easily refurnish and use the office space in different ways. Thanks to the tiltable table top and the addable wheels this is possible. The Kvadrat Really textile board was another enhancing element to our stand this year. Not only shining a light on the importance of reusing and sustainably sourcing, the textile board itself is a fantastic material aesthetically and gave our Coinz Station and our R5Nxt a completely new and exciting expression. Our popular trusty R6 Work.Station also got a new expression in line with the colours of the fair stand. With its clear straight lines and a table top with a solid aluminum core, it gave a sense of daring to take up space and being proud of it. And if you ask us – it took the place it so much deserves. With that said we are now leaving  Stockholm Furniture Fair 2024 behind us and looking ahead to a spring full of exciting projects collaborations.

We are happy to announce that we are participating in Stockholm Furniture Fair 2024 – the world’s leading meeting place for Scandinavian design. Between the 6-10th of February you will find us at stand C11:14, showcasing some carefully selected premium workplace furniture from our range. This year, we are extra excited about presenting our new multifunctional table, Together Mini, designed to meet the needs of the contemporary workplace. We will also be showcasing a piece of furniture from our fantastic Coinz series with new elements and one of our classics in a new guise, among a few other surprises. A huge welcome to visit our stand at C11:14. We can’t wait to meet you all.

We are happy to introduce the Kvadrat Really textile tabletop to our range.  A pre-coated, high density material made from end-of life textiles. In a time when less than 1% of the textile waste is recycled into new products the Kvadrat Really tabletop could not be more relevant, as producing one textile table top is equivalent of 60 t-shirts or 36 pairs of jeans. Sustainability is consistent throughout the whole production chain with no chemicals or clean water being used and no colourings added – the different colours of the table top are solely from the recycled textiles being used. Besides the recycled textile (70%) the Kvadrat Really tabletop consists of a 2nd generation binder from waste (20%) and a 2nd generation feed stock bio-based binder (10%) which makes it 100% circular and giving it a CO2 footprint less than 75% of a conventional table top. This textile tabletop is categorized as five in terms of surface resistance, meeting the industry’s highest standard for wear and tear, thus being a highly environmentally friendly option to many other materials but without compromising on quality. Kvadrat Really textile tabletop –  a new, unique and SUSTAINABLE option that we are very proud to be able to offer. We have revised our price list for 2023 – now including the Kvadrat Really textile tabletop as an alternative material to our work stations and meeting tables. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
