«My five favourite things at the Stockholm Furniture Fair» - selected by Thomas Bernstand
At Stockholm Furniture Fair we asked a number of designers about their five favourite pieces there. These will be presented here in a series of articles, beginning with the favourites and comments of Thomas Bernstrand.
«This nice Italian gentleman has designed a folding armchair. The idea is an ingenious one, and it really works – an attractive concept for reducing the work involved in transport to a minimum, in a world that is looking for environmentally friendly solutions. The gentleman is called Mario Guidarelli, and works under the name of Skala Design.»

«It doesn't get any simpler. This is why I like this table designed by Julia Läufer and Marcus Keichel.»

«Fredrik Färg created this folding device for hanging up clothes temporarily. The aim is to enable us to use clothes for longer without washing them, because after wearing they can be hung outside in the fresh air and then used again.»
«Highly promising design – a really impressive shelf system by Martin Born.»
«Playful, charming, very characteristic and yet so simple. I just love it!»
