INNOVATION C | Fredrik Mattson | 2OO2 (launched as a school design 2OO1)
Innovation C celibrated its 20-year anniversary 2022! 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 dressed up all monochrome.
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 fit.
