Blå Station has found yet another master student at Konstfack, the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in
Stockholm. The Princess won the design competition at the municipality of Karlshamn on the theme a bench for
interior public spaces. Straight and honest with meticulous attention to detail, the Princess is as welcoming in
any direction and ready for both formal and informal gatherings. A furniture piece that will lighten up neglected
public spaces with the ambition of bringing people together in real life, beyond the virtual bubbles of the smart-
phones. Inspired by slatted beds, the Princess offers fine woodwork, and can be ordered in almost any length
between 180 - 250 cm. Chose between oiled oak or lacquered ash, or painted in colour of your choice. Add
a pea and some bedding, and the fairy tale is in place as well.
”Seats for public space are often set out with any clear intention. How do we really bring people together?
How do we create new meeting places? The Princess is quite unpretentious without any fixed backrest in order
to allow for flexibility and interaction in every direction.”

Osko + Deichmann | 2O1O - 2O21
The contrast between kinked steel tubes and a comfortable seating experience is more pronounced than ever
in Osko + Deichmann’s Superstraw Lounge chair. Reminiscent of bent and crushed drinking straws, this is a
playful take on early last century modernist iconic tubular design. The bent and folded sharp angled tubes
was first presented ten years ago in Straw chair, then the big brother Superkink arrived, and now the siblings
Superstraw are joined by an even more distinguished family member. The exclamation by Olli Deichmann and
Blasius Osko is as true as ever: ”We make the impossible possible!”
