Stockholm Design Week 09: Swedish designers Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom of TAF Arkitektkontor created an installation of wooden office furniture at Nordic light Hotel in Stockholm last week.
The concept was developed for furniture producer RH Chairs, and is used in their showrooms and trade fair stands (also designed by TAF).
“The wooden furniture works as a low tech contrast to the highly functional and ergonomic RH Chairs,” says Ståhlbom.
During Stockholm Design Week the furniture was on show as part of the Swedish Style exhibition at the Light Factory in the Nordic light Hotel.

I like the wood lamp, but I think the appeal would be limited to rural residents and craftspeople… it’s pretty crude compared to the current era of curvy globs everwhere. Better watch for slivers though lol. I’d buy as long as the price reflects the style (doubt it)

If the main point of the design is the use of wood I think that they should have designed the articulaiton of the pieces instead of joining them with a screw. It would make it more delicate (plus challenging)

These pieces of furniture are for a showrom, it has not been designed to be saled, I like the concept, it is simple and straight forward. And TAF achieved a really nice contrast with very little use of effects.
