We think life is too short for boring seating and it seems that Stockholm-based design studio Note agrees. In creating its latest seating series for Swedish furniture company Lammhults, the designers took the playful, unconventional route to bring Bau to life. “Our aim was to create a piece of furniture with a lot of character that makes people happy and creative,” says Note designer Malin Engvall. And happy we are to see a modular seating system that has no right or wrong blueprint for configuring into homes and office spaces.
Bau is characterized by its soft lines, lower profile, and flexible modules. There are three main components: the Easy chair, the pouf, and the linking table. Both the Easy chair and pouf come in three variations – straight, closed, and open – to help create the perfect configuration. Made of powder coated sheet metal, the geometric linking table adds contrast to the sofa’s relaxed form and provides sturdy surface for items.
When commenting the on the longevity of this nonconformist design, Kristoffer Fagerström from Note shares, “We design furniture for the second-hand market, meaning that it’s not enough for the materials to be durable. The aesthetics have to be as well. A furniture piece must have such a strong identity and personality that it continues to have meaning for future generations.” We have a feeling generations from now will still delight in Bau’s inviting and happy design expression.
