Honken has a new offspring in X40 and X46, a generous easy chair in two different heights for restaurants, conference-rooms, as well as at home. Thomas Bernstrand, who
designed the original Honken family of one-, two-, and three-seaters in collaboration with Stefan Borselius and Johan Lindau, has kept the sturdy metal mesh, letting the visually
precise steel bars form the legs as well. Honken X40 and X46 will claim its place as freestanding cantilevered easy chairs in any space. The chairs slides easily in under any
table, and with just that little swing needed to not get tired during extended use. Seat upholstered in textile fabric or leather, and with a choice of different lacquers.
”A slight inclination of the backrest and the inflection of the cantilevered legs allows for good comfort. Honken will be as happy as a freestanding easy chair or as a part of Blå
Station’s modular furniture systems.”

Johan Ansander | 2O21
Light and soft, and like it´s sketched as a comic strip furniture piece, but made out of
heavy duty massive ash. Maximus is a playful departure from angular and rational
furniture with a mimetic attitude reminiscent of Keith Haring. Johan Ansander completed
his master degree at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design last year, and was
immediately approached by Blå Station. Using 3D-modelling CAD-software for CNC
wood routers, Johan Ansander aims to explore how locally sourced material can be
used in a contemporary way. Maximus is all but angular with laid-back comfy forms.
Both the seat and the backrest are made out of two reversed pieces of ash; the legs
are also made out of massive wood. Maximus is available in clear lacquered wood,
or a choice of colours. Black and red is Johan Ansander’s favourite.
“Have we not had enough of mass-produced furniture? I found a small sawmill just
outside Stockholm that handles locally harvested timber that we follow from
a natural raw material to a refined form for human needs. ”
