” It shall stand the wear of the eye”
Sven Lundh
WHAT IS QUALITY?
Furniture is a concept, with a will of its own, conveying an expression.
It is no doubt difficult to choose when clever operators with glossy catalogues tell you
about the most recent trends. You do not have to be particularly intelligent to realize that
the latest is succeeded by something else in the next catalogue.
Our ambition is to work with designers and artists who are aware of what quality stands
for - accomplishment unaffected by trends. On reflection, it is obvious that quality is just
not measured in term of such things as strength of glued joints, etc. The measurable aspect
is quantity, whereas quality is a broader concept and can not be measured in the traditional
sense. The most important aspect is the visual quality. Good quality means long-term validity.

BEATRIX
“ As designer You are often asked from where You
get your ideas.
My answer is simple: I get inspiration from my
daily life.
In the daily life fantasy is born. Lamps get
pigtails, vases get buttons, benches tripping away on
short legs, and around the sofa table a belt is drawn
tight to stop it from growing. Fairy tails and fantasy.
Small and big thoughts. Rituals and habits. All this
crossed with the practical life, with thoughts about
shape, material and function.
The easy chair Beatrix is named after my daughter,
born the same year I designed the chair. It has a
hardly noticeable asymmetric form. The buttons in
the back are moving from a traditional order to a
wonderful and lovely chaos.”

PILASTER
I suppose that most of the value judgements
I make are based on the usual lessons you learn in
life. It’s the unusual lessons that are the important
ones. But who can I ask in cases like that? There
isn’t anyone. I can get a long way with the usual
ingrained value judgements. Most of them will
successfully see me through an entire lifetime.
The unusual ones, if we can call them such, both
irritate and stimulate. They’re like holes in a boat.
It’s just a question of how many holes a boat can
cope with before it sinks.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
National Geographic
I lay on the bed trying to quit smoking and started instead to collect National Geographic
magazines, loosing myself into other worlds, primeval forests or the surface of the moon,
visiting craftsmen in different cultures. It soon became an obsession. In the end I was
buying issues I already had. That’s when I made this cabinet. To limit my the size of my
collection and put an end to the whole damned nonsense.
Later, when I put the cabinet on display at the Liljewalchs Art Gallery in 1988, this sweet
old lady said she wanted to buy it. But she was astonished when she realised the Magazines
were included in the price – and said , she wanted another for her own Collection. So I had
to measure it all up again in preparation to make a new one. But it was such a chore. I’d
already made my cabinet. So I never came to anything.
Mats Theselius later perfected his National Geographic cabinet for Källemo,

BABE
NOBODY PUTS BABE IN A CORNER
This type of coat stand is so good and
I didn´t want to change it, only make it
more “mine”.
When I made the sofa “MAMA LOOK”,
it felt a bit naked, that’s why I added some
accessories from me, my belts and my
pantaloons.
To use the belt also at the coat stand for
BABE felt natural – a metaphor!
In this way, BABE has a personality and
shall not be put away in a corner.
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner”
But my coatstand is no baby, it's a BABE.

STAR
Mats Theselius models are always an expression of something that deeply interests him.
His knowledge and fascination about different
countries and their specific handicraft, has resulted in some of the most diverse and
stimulating contemporary pieces of furniture.
Elk skin, aluminium, brass and beech bark easy
chairs, the National Geographic bookcase etc.
Collecting and travelling is a great inspiration for
Mats Theselius. A journey to Japan inspired him
to create the Bamboo King, Texas to the El Ray,
and collecting Dieter Rahm´s design for Braun,
resulted in the desk Herbarium.
The easy chair "STAR" has it's background in
Mats Theselius passion in, and life with music.
An instrument is built in a way to obtain an
ultimate sound, grip and joy of playing. And it is
always beautiful.
In "STAR" , the drum set with it´s leg construction, drumskin and choice of materials
was transformed into a piece of furniture. The
aesthetic as well as the demand for a long life is
recognisable.
"STAR" with the pearl backrest, leather seat and
chrome frame is produced in a limited edition
of 360 pieces. Availability is unlimited in the
version with fabric or leather.

COPY AND PASTE
My ideas about form and materials are very closely related to
my upbringing and background. I was born in a small village in
Iceland.
My father is a carpenter with his own little carpentry. It was in
these surroundings that I got my first, and may be most important
experience with forms and materials.
This is reflected in my aesthetics which I think of as naive. Not far
from my childhood home there is a wrecker ´s yard with remains
of ships and all kinds of materials, corroded by rust and etched by
time. The decay reveals the essence of things: You see how parts
are put together and how different materials relate to one another.
As a designer you must know your own background, but also
know the history, so that you can see the perspective and reflect
your own time by use of the history. There is nothing new under
the sun but there can always be a new understanding in well
known objects. The chair for instance is a good example of this.
The process of designing furniture that can be made without using
screws or glue is a very good exercise in exploring the essence
of the construction. You must have full control as the harmony
between the form and structure must be total. As a consequence I
have payed interest in the De Stijl movement and the Russian constructive movement. Both exploring the essence of the structure.
In my work I tend to work in two ways that is with expressive
forms and geometrical forms. It is not the purpose of this work to
come up with a new style or movement, I simply try to express my
own time and place.
I focus on the idea; design is more than just working with forms.
You must learn to see and explore. All around us there are hidden
ideas and treasures waiting for revelation.
I seek the essential. How material and form unites.

Jonas Bohlin 1980
Concrete marked a turning point in the history of Swedish furniture.
It forced new questions to be asked. Questions whose answers turned
conventional assumptions of what furniture was – or rather,
what it ought to be – on their head.
