We were approached by Flokk with a brief for a new canteen and conference chair. It is a saturated category, but still a vital one to have a meaningful presence. This meant that the chair must be of the highest environmental class, it should serve all needs like stacking, chained, different bases, a huge variety of upholstery options etc and not least it must compete on price. While being produced in Scandinavia.
To serve the ambitious brief Flokk invited us, Form Us With Love, and Susanne Grønlund to collaborate. We spent a week in Dale constantly designing, iterating, building mock-ups and exploring a myriad of different ways in to the project. In the end the concept we had worked on was moved forward, and a three year industrialization process began.
The result is a friendly and comfortable chair, that stacks like a dream and still competes on price, and upholds the highest environmental standards. All the while being produced in Scandinavia.
