Corners is an armchair by Amanda Ivarsøy Kovacs conceived to give comfort in an anxious everyday, while Ur, designed by Astrid Emmerhoff Lothe, is a standing desk with two table tops that allow to create various working situations for one or more people. Nami by Frid Smelvær Høgelid is an upholstered mattress and pillow open up for a versatile function and relaxation; Kamilla Stokkevåg designed Swap, a playful chair that can be used in an upright and attentive position, or in a more comfortable way, changing the position of the cushions. The textiles used in the project were sponsored by Kvadrat.
