MAXIMUS | Johan Ansander | 2O21
MAXIMUS - Heavy duty all wood easy-chair. Light and soft, and like it’s sketched as
a comic strip furniture piece, but made out of heavy duty solid 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 2020
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 solid ash
wood. Maximus is available in clear lacquere, or a choice of colours.
