INNOVATION C | Fredrik Mattson | 2OO2 (launched as a school project 2OO1)
Innovation C celebrates 20-year anniversary! Innovation C by Fredrik Mattson
remains the true pioneer among multifunctional furniture. A striking graphic design asking to have its
possible functions unmasked. Sit straight or use that arm as a backrest. Or let it support an iPad,
a book, and a bunch of documents. Swivel around to take in the views. Twenty years after the
successful launch at the Milan Furniture Fair, Innovation C is now dressed up all monochrome for
its 20-year anniversary. The multifunctional chair was born among business people at Arlanda,
the Stockholm airport hub. Fredrik Mattson, still a design student, saw how the still novel laptop
was perched precariously on knees, backrests and such. New ways of working begged for new
furniture typologies, and Innovation C became the answer. Today, two decades later, when
we live and work with our digital devices everywhere, every time of the day, the true reference
among multifunctional furniture designs is even more relevant.
