Stockholm based architect and designer Mattias Stenberg continues his collaboration with Offecct.

Thomas Sandell is one of Scandinavia's most respected architects and designers. He has previously created acclaimed furniture for Offecct, in the form of a sofa, a chair and an acoustic panel. This time, the ambition was a chair for restaurants and conferences. The armchair, which signals high quality, is highly comfortable and hugs the user, hence the name - Consist.
Surf is moved around easily, yet it is no “furniture” according to the designer, rather “a tool for achieving maximum flexibility in activity-based venues.” Whether there is a computer or a couple of cups of coffee sitting on top of it. The light table blends well into Offecct's Life-circle philosophy.
Award-winning Italian designer Luca Nichetto divides his time between his studios in Venice and Stockholm.
