OM, MAXIMUS & MAX
MAXIMUS - Heavy duty all wood easy-chair. Love at first sight. Sturdy and soft, and
like it’s sketched as a comic strip furniture piece, but made out of solid ash. Maximus is a playful
departure from angular and rational furniture with a mimetic attitude reminiscent of Keith Haring.
Johan Ansander created Maximus as his master degree project at Konstfack, University of Arts,
Crafts and Design 2020 and was immediately approached by Blå Station. He has a keen interest
in the malleability of materials and creating Maximus he used 3D-modelling CAD-software for
CNC wood routers. Johan Ansander aims to explore how locally sourced material can be used
in a contemporary way. Maximus is all but angular with laid-back comfy forms. Both the seat and
the backrest are made out of two reversed pieces of ash; the legs are also made out of solid ash
wood. Maximus is available in clear lacquer, or a choice of colours.
