United in utility

Even though the wall sound absorber Näver W and the Central easy-chair series serve different purposes, they share a common thread spun from flexibility, playfulness, and true Scandinavian design. Näver W is a perfect blend of excellent acoustics and creative freedom, while Central and its many siblings offer new, comfortable ways to work, wait, and relax. Thanks to its new swivel caster base and practical side table, Central adapts to various needs. Subtle details, such as the nature-inspired relief pattern on Näver W and the elegant stitching on Central’s back, enhance the welcoming and inviting atmosphere, providing something pleasant for your soul and senses – just the way you like it.

Be the centre of attention - Central lives up to its name thanks to its unique characteristics. It’s always the centre of attention. Neat and tactful, but also stable and conspicuous, Central bridges the gap between a regular armchair and an easy chair. The simple and clean design allows it to stand out while blending in. Central’s beautiful upholstery, attentive sewing details in the back, and slender rectangular legs add structure and new dimensions to its shape. You can also mix it up with an elegant 5-star swivel base with five-casters and a practical side table in laptop size.

The design duo, bonpart, has created a flexible series that puts people at the heart of things, making it perfect for working, meetings, and waiting. Or just relaxing. Sit down and fix your eyes on the task at hand or sit back and rest your eyes for a moment. No matter how you use it, Central always makes you the central character of the story.

Näver W by Nina Jobs

Weave a pleasant soundscape - Näver W is a sound absorber inspired by the simplicity in Scandinavian nature. More importantly, it’s a tribute to the traditional Swedish art of weaving birch-bark baskets. An idea that was woven in the mind of designer Nina Jobs. The result is one of a kind. A creative combination of nature’s purity, a clever magnetic hanging system, and recycled textile material. Playful and decorative, yet highly functional. When you weave the sound-absorbing squares together, a tapestry of fascinating patterns emerges, and a 3D effect is created. Add, remove, and rearrange. You’re the weaver now. Näver also has a relief pattern, inspired by stripes on birch trunks, giving the room a unique character and adding structure to your creation. Above all, Näver absorbs sound, making you appreciate that good feeling of being in a space with balanced acoustics.

Sit back among the trees

This spring, Skandiform presents a fusion of style and form with our embracing easy-chair, BEasy, and our tree-shaped coat stand, Alm. They may appear as two sides of a coin, but they’re two peas in a pod. Both are crafted with precision and attention to detail. They’re also designed for ultimate comfort and functionality. Despite BEasy and Alm being distinct products from three different designers, they share a common theme – a tribute to tranquillity. Serving as natural retreats within your space, they invite you to relax and rejuvenate amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take a moment to breathe, unwind, and find solace among the trees. Hang your hat and sit back.

Be what it wants you to be - BEasy is an easy-chair that combines two designer mindsets. Co-designed by Stefan Borselius and Ruud Ekstrand, BEasy stands as a testament to the power of collaboration across generations. Contemporary yet classic, a symbol of unity and diversity. BEasy gently whispers “be easy” in your ears – a literal call to unwind and take things a bit more casually, but it also says “busy” and “business”. With its sculptural form and smooth lines, BEasy welcomes you with open arms while shielding you from the outside world, evoking a feeling of intimacy and seclusion, as if nested in a protective cocoon. A sophisticated and well-crafted creation, seamlessly blending in and standing out in any room it graces, meeting all the criteria for what a modern easy-chair or lounge chair should embody. It’s an invitation that already knows your response. Relax or focus – it’s that easy.

Alm coat stand
by Nina Jobs

Rooted in nature’s grace - Alm, designed by the internationally acclaimed designer Nina Jobs, is a steel coat stand named after a Swedish elm tree. A natural and ancient being known for its shadow play, structure, and stability – deeply rooted in the soil and a symbol of enduring beauty. What started as a mere seed of inspiration during another design project grew into a fully realised and innovative product. Nina Jobs envisioned a tree silhouette with branches and created Alm in her image. The branches act as hooks, inviting coats, hats, and other garments to find a temporary haven in the beautiful treetop. Use it to create colourful and expressive forests, small avenues of accents, or plant it as a solitaire where you need it the most. Have fun, experiment, and integrate it into any space. Alm is a true work of nature, that’s also beneficial to humans, much like a real tree. Made in Sweden and grown by you.
