The World’s Most Prestigious Global Awards for New Product Design and Graphics
In our search for a new wooden chair for Lundbergs Contract we started our work by looking in to our Scandinavian heritage and history. In Sweden we have a long tradition of wood, in many various manners and not least in furniture production. A very strong image, almost an icon, of Swedish culture and history is the traditional pinnstol (wooden chair with turned sticks).
In this traditional chair we found our inspiration when we created LEO. But Leo is more than just a romantic idea about our history.
We wanted to combine a strong identity (Sweden), a solid construction (Triangle) and a good use of the material (wood).
The strength of the triangle is well known and well used for all different kinds of construction solution. In our work with Leo we wanted to use the triangle to create a good, solid and durable chair for public spaces such as cafés and restaurants. The use of a triangular construction (in the meeting of the back leg and back rest) also makes it harder to weigh on the chairs’ back legs, which often destroys the chair.
We are very happy to announce that we have received the prestigious good design award for our work.
