It became an instant classic in Norway because of its unique flexibility and many uses. Now Fjordfiesta Furniture re-launched Krobo in collaboration with Fabio Carlesi and his company Utopia Retro Modern. Krobo is available in two lengths, 200 or 150 cm, and two heights, 34 or 44 cm. Material will be oak or walnut.
With great respect for the classic bench the renowned designer duo Anderssen & Voll has created new accessories for Krobo that indicate its variety of use through added purposes and colour elements. Storage boxes, drawer units and pillows have all a muted expression that subordinates Afdal’s timeless bench, but at the same time gives Krobo new life.
