The Bob family is growing
Johan Lindau, CEO and design manager of Blå Station,
challenged two of Sweden’s most renowned designers, to
develop a modular sofa that allow for maximum flexibility with a
minimum of components and at a reasonable price.
Stefan Borselius and Thomas Bernstrand worked successfully
together on the design brief and 2017 Bob was introduced
to the market.
The collaboration joined two different temperaments and
working methods. ”You can easily get stuck on details when
you work alone’, say Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius
in unison. ‘We work faster together when we can switch roles,
taking turns at leaning back to take in the big picture,
or immersing ourselves in the details.”
Bob is fast growing into a multifaceted family, a proof that
rounded forms definitely trump sharp edged design. The
original Bob by Stefan Borselius and Thomas Borselius offers an
undulating and extremely flexible sofa system, which can both
adapt to and shape any space thanks to the cleverly designed
elements. The lush and comfy seating solution snakes around
pillars and flows along walls, as well as forming freestanding
seating islands. With just 7 differently sized elements, Bob can
provide seats facing in every direction. If needed, a slightly
raised plinth can be added for public spaces. The additions
made in Bob Job caters for a cosy laid-back working spirit.
Just add horizontal side tables for cups and magazines, vertical
spaces for plants and flowers, integrated electric outlets for
charging appliances, towering lamps, jack-in tables. Add sound
absorbing screen partitions in various heights and sizes to allow
for privacy and secluded spaces, and don’t forget that little
knob to hang up bags, coats, and umbrellas. The additional
Bob Light makes sure you have sufficiant light for reading or
working. And you can as well bring Bob home. A little bit
deeper and so much softer with its distinctive armrests and cosy
cushions. Bob thrives both in public spaces, in the office, in the
city square and definitely in the home and when Bob ventures
outdoors, Bob Betong offers the same rounded forms but now
cast in concrete to enhance public spaces with inviting, yet at
the same time, protected seating areas for the common good.
