Free flowing Bob
Shape Bob anyway you want. Let the totally adaptable sofa snake around pillars,
flow along walls, and undulate around meeting areas. Bob will obediently adhere to
any space, or will endow it with a forceful and at the same time immensely comfortable
structure. Thanks to Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius’ meticulously designed
modular solution, Bob can be built straight, in hairpin turns, as a boomerang, or whatever
shape one might fancy. Bob offers an architectonic freedom of free flows, and without
any ”back” side, Bob will face totally clothed in all directions opening up for even
more possibilities when handling ever-changing interior architecture. The straightforward
construction requires a minimum of maintenance: a frame in FSC-certified plywood with
a sturdy yet soft mould of foam, and a broad selection of fabrics and colours.
At its launch in 2017 Bob was hailed as Best Product - Editor’s Choice both at Stockholm
Furniture Fair and ICFF in New York, and was then crowned with the German Design
Award 2018. Bob has now become even more flexible with two new elements which
allows for even more sensuous shapes as well as freestanding seating islands.
New add-on steel tables can be affixed between the modular elements, or chose the
freestanding Jack table, which can serve as a hub connected to the electric outlets on
Bob. With an optional base in black stained oak, Bob can now be had as a slightly
raised version for public spaces.
”We have made Bob even more useable,” says Stefan Borselius, ”the new elements
allows for gentler curves and freestanding seating islands.”
”The new 11,5 degree elements allows for seatings facing in all directions,” claims
Thomas Bernstrand, ”you have an even greater flexibility in creating forms, and you can
build little poufs as well.”
