The V.TB.01 Seating System represents Thomas Bernstrand’s distinctive approach to challenging conventional perceptions of public furniture. This modular seating solution, manufactured by VERK using exclusively Swedish materials, transforms simple wooden stools into versatile public space furniture through an innovative connector system.
Bernstrand’s design philosophy emphasizes products meant to be used intensively rather than displayed, perfectly embodied in the V.TB.01’s robust construction. The system begins with a fundamental wooden stool design, expandable into endless configurations through simple connectors. This modular approach enables architects and planners to create customized seating arrangements for airports, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and urban environments.
The system’s genius lies in its simplicity: individual 27mm Swedish Oak stools connect through innovative linking mechanisms, creating endless configuration possibilities. Public space planners can design linear arrangements, curved formations, or complex geometric patterns suited to specific architectural requirements.
