The work of the swedish designers Linus Berlund und Mats Seitz

'Silent Chair' is the name of the reserved chair created by the Swedish designers Linus Berglund and Mats Seitz. And it is in fact above all the inconspicuous but ingenious little details which ensure that the Silent Chair is much more than just an everyday piece of furniture. Very much in the tradition of Scandinavian design their creations are characterised by a clarity of form, transparency of design and a high standard of craftsmanship which ensures a quality finish.

Mats Seitz developed his 'Lamp' standard lamp on the model of those surveillance cameras which make an almost human impression with the way they can move their heads. In combination with the matching sofa, for which Seitz is by the way still looking for a suitable manufacturer, the effect is a striking one.
