Note: Marginal Notes 2

The Swedish design collective launches their second collection of colours, shapes, materials and expressions.

Launched during Stockholm Design Week 2012, Swedish design collective Note's"Marginal Notes 2" collection is the result of an excursion into the forest where the collective "collected samples and took notes."

These notes and ideas materialized in the physical world, transformed into lamps, seats and shelves. Many of the ideas "seemed to have a common theme that we simply called Base Camp," Note say. "The simplistic materials and shapes of scientific field expedition tools adapted to stand wear and tear. Other ideas connected more to the culture of exploration."

The collection includes items such as Tuck, a set of poufs to sit on that take their shape from a traditional hat; Sifter, which evokes a giant sifter while serving as a coat hanger; Nour, a lamp inspired by multi-coloured origami polyhedra; and Settler, a bench inspired by fallen trees, "since a dead tree in the forest is really the best place for a short rest".
