THE WORLD’S THINNEST TABLE?
Thinner table, designed by
Tobias Berneth.
Thinner is the result of many calculations and tests carried out in order
to create a table that is just 6 mm thick – an illusion of a thin,
weightless table. The shape is reminiscent of an aeroplane wing, and provides
a high level of stability.

maker, going on to study industrial design at the State Academy of Art

is possible!” he says. Read more on www.tobiasberneth.com
Kalvi lounge chair
designed by Ulrika E. Engberg and Johanna Eliason.
Kalvi was designed by Johanna and Ulrika during their studies at the HDK
School of Design and Crafts at Göteborg University, especially for
Karl Andersson & Söner. The idea was to make a modern lounge
chair that dares to take space. The wedge shape together with its “calf-like”
quality makes it a cheeky individual in our range.
Today, both run their own companies.
Ulrika E. Engberg works with concepts, furniture design and company profiling.
“I am inspired by design that opens your eyes and redefines things
or makes them clearer – design that creates inspiration and provides
new vision, ” she says. Read more on www.ulrikaengberg.com
Johanna Eliason works on everything from product development to designing
furniture and houses. “I’m driven by the huge variation the
design profession offers, with each project being unique. To me, care
and precision are important both in design and craftsmanship.”

in common – they are destined to become tomorrow’s classics.

with a strong identity and its own character that will stand the test
of time and outlive fleeting trends. Our head office and all manufacturing
