Starting by questioning
Why are almost all regular chairs upholstered with a thin, barely
load-bearing foam? That was the question we asked ourselves. The
reason we came up with, was that all these chairs have a first version
without padding, such as a moulded wooden seat, and for various
production-logistical, inventory-intensive and seat height-related reasons,
the result is a 10mm thin non-load-bearing foam that is glued to the
surface, and bang - there is the upholstered version. We decided to
skip the first version and go straight to the padded version and work
on the comfort for both short and long periods of sitting. The product
brief the designer Stefans Borselius had received, ahead of our 25th
anniversary in 2011, was to interpret Blå Station’s design signature.
He chose to make Dundra into a whole furniture series, just like our
father, Börge Lindau, did in 1986 when he designed his furniture
series Oblado.
Dundra when comfort is the focus.
