POPPE
Stefan Borselius 2015 - 2016
I knew we were sticking our necks out when
Poppe turned out to be a really narrow armchair.
It’s now clear to me after a year’s daily use that
Poppe is a personality, a tall chameleon that fits
all assignments, all environments and all users.
Poppe is quite simply an armchair that can both
fill unexploited spaceand resolve the architect’s
problem of how to meet customer demand
for more usable seats. It also copes with all body
shapes; long and short, fat and thin – and short or
long seated periods.
We have had many requests from architects and
customers for variants that don’t exist – and as
always I wanted to move thoughtfully forward and
give Poppe the future he deserves, adding what
ultimately seems obvious. By giving Poppe an
encircling arm support, we provide him with a new
level of comfort, simultaneously adding security for
sceptics and traditionalists who believe that they
will fall off something just because it’s narrower
than usual.
Perhaps Poppe is an armchair you have to try be-
fore you understand and appreciate it. Just like the
Oppo armchair, we have made a variant with a
lower back, but still narrow and tall. The leg frame
is also supplemented so that it can cope with desk
heights, and despite making an armchair into a
chair, it’s narrower and more attractive than the
majority of others on the market.
With these additions to the series, Poppe goes
from 2 variants to 16 models.
Hello to the Poppe family!
