Stockholm – French designer Inga Sempé will present her new Österlen chair and table, made with Swedish manufacturer Gärsnäs, at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2011 later this month.
The elegantly simple pieces feature U-cuts at the base of the legs, and along the bent ash spine, creating a light design. ‘My aim was to create a simple, light and quiet – but not minimalist – chair and table, that would be nice in contemporary homes or in older ones,’ says Sempé.
As LS:N previously explored in our Full of Grace Inspire, pure simple designs appeal to consumers’ search for pared-down, emotional experiences.
LS:N Global will be reporting from the Stockholm Furniture Fair from 8 February.
