The basic idea was a series of small stools, chairs and tables of varying heights and
designs. A small family of furniture that we called OBLADO, constructed around a
compression moulded ring in birch veneer, vegetable-tanned leather and stainless
steel. Börge’s chosen design idiom. Today, the expression, materials and forms have
developed from a close collaboration with new designers and even new industries.
Each item of furniture is the result of a design problem that we have formulated and
are determined to solve. For us, design is about developing everyday products. It’s
about simplifying or improving.
