Each of the five + one different modules \nare a mere 26 cm in width, which turns Bob into an \neasily understood and extremely flexibly modular \nsofa system. Make it straight, add a hairpin turn, \nor let the caterpillar-like formations flow in gentle \nrhythmical curves. Where ordinary sofas are usually \nrectangular, square and predictable, Bob offers an \narchitectonic freedom to either challenge or adhere \nto all types of spaces. Without any “back” side, \nBob faces all directions beautifully, providing even \nmore possibilities for ever-changing interior design \narchitecture. The straightforward construction requires \na minimum of maintenance: a frame in FSC-certified \nplywood with a sturdy yet soft mould of foam, and \na wide selection of fabrics and colours.\nJohan Lindau, CEO and design manager of \nBlå Station, has once again challenged two of \nSweden’s most renowned designers. Is it possible \nto allow for maximum flexibility with a minimum of \ncomponents at a reasonable price? And will Stefan \nBorselius and Thomas Bernstrand once more be \nable to collaborate – even more intimately this time – \nthan with their former success, Experiment 15, which \nresulted in Honken, Poppe and Morris JR? \n‘You can easily get stuck on details when you work \nalone’, say Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius \nin unison. ‘We work faster together when we can \nswitch roles, taking turns at leaning back to take in \nthe big picture, or immersing ourselves in the details.’ \nLogistics and production handling are obviously of \nparamount importance. ‘We cut and adjusted a \nvolume in styrofoam in Stefan’s studio until the height \nand depth was spot on’, says Thomas Bernstrand. \n‘Then we rotated it until it fitted perfectly on a Euro \npallet.’ The final result is a compact volume for \ntransport, with each module being easy to handle \nboth in the factory and on site. ‘Sit on the back \nof the sofa, or deep down in it; you will be sitting \ncomfortably regardless’, says Stefan Borselius, and \ncontinues: ‘Enter the floor plan into the computer and \nlet Bob flow through space with simple or complex \nforms.

When Thomas \npresented the two lamps Do Swing and Sugar Ray at his exam exhibition \nat Konstfack, the School of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, they \nwere immediately picked up by Droog Design which featured them in their \nmuch-praised show during the Milano fair in 2001. A lamp which allowed \nyou to fly over the bar counter and another in silicon to punch until it lit up. \n‘I need to justify what I create’, says Thomas earnestly. ‘Why make a new \nproduct? Can I do it differently? In a more environmentally sound way? \nAllow for more efficient logistics? Make it easier to move? It can almost be \nanything as long as the product offers something new, otherwise it doesn’t \ncount.’ \nThe same desire to challenge prevailing norms with witty and meticulously \nconceived design is mirrored in Thomas’ art project. The Beach, which \nwon the 2008 Siena Landscape Award, consists of sun deck furniture and \nparasols in a year-round installation in the centre of Stockholm. Movable \nSpace is one of four projects still to be completed; a slowly revolving light \ninstallation that will adorn the new commuter rail station Odenplan in \nStockholm. Thomas’ education spans industrial design to art, and he studied \nin Stockholm at both Konstfack – the University of Arts, Crafts and Design – \nand Konsthögskolan – the University of Fine Arts – as well as at Denmark’s \nDesignskole. His work can be found in museums both in Sweden and \nDenmark, and of course in the Blå Station collection. Thomas has also \nbeen awarded many design prizes, among them the Young & Design \nAward, Italy, and the Imm Interior Innovations Award, Cologne, Germany.\nFAVOURITE PODCAST? \nLilla Drevet, where the cartoonist \nand radio host Liv Strömqvist \nsucceeds in joking about themes \noften deemed to be too sensitive \nfor humour.\nTHINGS THAT STIMULATE YOU? \nI like opposites.

He has trained as a \ncarpenter at the Steneby School, as a designer at \nthe Carl Malmsten School, and holds a master’s \ndegree from Konstfack, the University College of \nArts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. With a keen \ninterest in historic designs, he creates furniture, lights \nand textiles inspired by new lifestyles and new \nworking environments. All of his work is marked \nby an attention to proportions and details, and he \nmethodically and whole-heartedly pushes the \nboundaries of what can be produced, without \nleaving anything to chance. ‘I presented my \njourneyman piece exactly 100 years after my \ngrandfather’s father did the same, but although I \nfelt at ease with carpentry, I wanted to learn how \nto create and draw my own forms.’\nThe Oppo chair for Blå Station, 2009, fuses \ntechnical and emotional functionality in a soft, cushy \nfriendly form. Stefan has received numerous awards \nincluding the Red Dot: Best of the Best Award, \n2004. He is represented in the design collection at \nthe National Museum, Stockholm. Many Swedish \ndesign companies in lighting, textile, and acoustic \nproducts are among his clients, and most of all Blå \nStation, for whom he has created modern design \nicons such as Peekaboo, Wilmer and Oppo as \nwell as Sting, designed with Fredrik Mattson.\n    STEFAN\nStefan Borselius\nPOPPE | Stefan Borselius + Bernstrand & Lindau 2015 \n",11,{"image":55,"text":56,"number":57},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5b\u002F38140089b895914784ea31b52e4350.12.png","Sturdy yet flexible, with a calculated balance of \nproportions, Lucky is both closed and open, with \naccentuated horizontal and vertical forms: a chair \nthat offers a comfortable and at the same time \nalmost ritual seating experience.

It’s about \nresearching the potential of future design here and \nnow. So it’s no wonder that Blå Station takes on \nseemingly impossible challenges both technically \nand commercially, like with the acclaimed Dent chair \nwhere, against all odds Blå Station succeeded in \n3D-forming ordinary veneer into a double-curved \nseat shell. ‘We break steel and we crumple wood’, \nsays CMO and export manager Mimi Lindau \nRikardsson. ‘We don’t hesitate to experiment and \nventure into unknown territory.

But Börge almost \nabandoned his career and his colleague \nBo Lindekrantz. He had various ideas about \nwhat else he could do. Why not retire? \nMaybe open a restaurant? What about \ncalling it Herring & Design? His plans were \ndiscarded when the design team of Lindau \n& Lindekrantz won the Forsnäs Award 1984 \nwith their Duett furniture collection. Börge \nLindau wanted to continue his work as a \ndesigner, but now on his own and in charge \nof the whole process. So in 1986 the family \nbusiness of Blå Station was launched, along \nwith the new Oblado furniture collection. \nSince that time, the siblings Mimi and Johan \nhave been completely immersed in creating \nand producing designs that are always \nsomething out of the ordinary.\nBörge Lindau\nJohan & Mimi\nWHAT INSPIRES US?\nThe world is in a constant flux. \nWe want to change and improve.\n \nPeace, Love & Good Design!\nText: Leo Gullbring\nPhoto:\nKimme Persson page 1,2,7,8,9,10\nCarl Hjelte page 18\n Erik Karlsson page 19,20\n",23,{"image":102,"text":103,"number":104},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5b\u002F38140089b895914784ea31b52e4350.24.png","BLÅ STATION AB \nBox 100. 296 22 Åhus.
