ÅHUS
Outofstock 2016
For our first project for Blå Station, a company
celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016, we
wanted to design a chair that represents our take
on the values that Blå Station stands for – fun but
never forgetting function, unexpected yet at the
same time familiar.
The resulting product was conceived as an
exercise in seating where we wanted to achieve a
comfortable and compact recliner with a balance
of freshness and timelessness – one that would be
compatible with both contemporary and historic
environments. When designing this chair, we
worked especially hard to eliminate superfluous
and unnecessary elements while giving it character
and new function through the integration of a side
table, introducing a sense of asymmetry.
We named the chair Åhus, after the coastal town
in south-east Sweden where Blå Station was
established in 1986, as a celebration of their
birthday.
