Stockholm, Sweden
Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune’s new Abisko seating collection for Italian True Design builds on a rounded silhouette and a soft volume that is cut sharp on the four sides.
The power of a simple shape, the same one as the door of Lapland: Abisko, hence the name of this new family of chairs, sofas and daybeds.
The park is famous for its view of a U-shaped valley known as Lapporten or gateway to Lapland.
From the name of an immense natural park to the name of an object on a human scale: they share the same colors, passion for natural shapes and knowledge of materials.
The concept provides not only a unique expression but also a smaller footprint and favours repeated elements and furnishing along walls, facilitating the planning of environments such as offices, hotels and public areas.
Abisko seating features a solid wood frame, varnished steel legs and fabric or leather upholstery in muted hues.
The visible wooden frame is a detail that allows endless combinations of upholstery fabrics and finishes without compromising the design integrity.
