Positive reactions

Thanks everyone for all the lovely meetings and visits to our stand and our new showroom during Stockholm Design Week.

We launched new designs including Pierre Sindre’s stylish easy chair Dandy, David Regestam/Wingårdh’s well-considered TAK series of tables, Åke Axelsson’s refined armchair Sonat and TAF arkitektkontor’s appealing and neat Bleck sofa and easy chair. TAF also received a prestigious award: Designer of the Year by Form Magazine for Nordic Architecture and Design.

The jury’s citation:

“With the sofa and easy chair in the new collection Bleck for Gärsnäs, duo TAF consolidates their position as one of the most interesting architecture and design studios. Their idiom is as rigorous as relaxed, a tendency that is driven to perfection with Bleck.”

David Ericsson won the Rising Star Award at the ELLE Decoration Swedish Design Awards 2017 for his knowledge of the qualities of wood and respect for craftsmanship that creates furniture made to last a long time.

 

Two new designs from Gärsnäs are nominated for Sköna Hem magazine’s Furniture of the Year Award, the winner to be announced in early May:

Bleck sofa and easy chair by TAF Arkitektkontor:

“Exposed construction and playful naivism are two of TAF Arkitektkontor’s hallmarks. Add elegance to the design duo’s first upholstered piece of furniture and the result is a sofa that can be placed anywhere in the room, suspended over slightly retracted legs. Like the reverse side of an oil painting’s frame, the sofa utilises triangular braces to reinforce the corners – known in Swedish as bleck – a characteristic union of function and decoration.”

Dandy easy chair by Pierre Sindre:

“Inspired by fashion from the 60s – think rattan handbags and sports-car helmets – Dandy wants to impress like a snobby Englishman. The high, arched rattan back filters the light and creates seclusion without feeling closed in – and the generous width leaves room for a friend too. With lovely lines and craftsmanship of superb quality, Dandy is an easy chair to disappear into: originating from the designer’s own playful wish.”
