Blå Station has found yet another master student at
Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design in
Stockholm. Prinsessan (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,
Prinsessan 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 smartphones.
Inspired by slatted beds, Prinsessan offers fine
woodwork, and can be ordered in almost any length
between 180 - 250 cm. Chose between oiled oak
or lacquered ash, or paint 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 without any
clear intention. How do we really bring people
together? How do we create new meeting places?
Prinsessan is quite unpretentious without any fixed
backrest in order to allow for flexibility and interaction
in every direction.”
