Re-launching the Bachelor chair
Designed by Verner Panton
Montana
Verner Panton’s iconic chair consists of five tubes and a stretching seat in acrylic fabric or linen canvas. The chair may be taken apart without using tools and is flat-packed. Verner Panton designed the chair at the age of 27 – a young man on the move who needed a light, portable and also comfortable chair. He united these qualities brilliantly in the Bachelor chair which is as modern today as it was in 1955.
The Bachelor chair is for both indoor and outdoor use. The chair may be provided with a seat cushion and a matching foot stool and table are available in the same design as the chair.

Ascent
Designed by Daniel Rybakken
Luceplan
Ascent is an object of striking poetic content, halfway between emotion and reason. The fundamental novelty lies in the unusual gesture made to turn on the lamp, adjust its intensity or turn it off. The small shade slides along the slender stem with a fluid and continuous motion, dimming the light output by moving the head up and down. A magical object due to the innovation of the gesture and the immediacy of the technical lighting effect achieved.
Ascent inverts the proportions between the shade and the body of the lamp, reinventing the table lamp archetype. Ascent comes in two versions, with an anchor bolt for tables, or with a base.

Patricia Urquiola Curtain and Upholstery
Kvadrat
Patricia Urquiola has created her first collection for Kvadrat where abstract designs combine sophisticated colours, tactility and a strong sense of depth and volume.
Grid 1+2, Matrix and Memory all feature a ‘digital’ look and come in complementary colours. Grid 1+2 and Memory are upholstery textiles while Matrix can be used both as an upholstery fabric, as well as a curtain. The curtains Drops and Winding, are characterised by their airiness. Both feature coloured stripes, which stand out on top of a transparent background.
Thanks to their individuality and lively expressions, the textiles in the Urquiola collection are ideal for hospitality venues and private homes.

Induplo High
Designed by Ernst & Jensen
Erik Jørgensen
Ernst and Jensen’s award-winning sofa series InDuplo has been expanded with a new version with side panels: InDuplo High. The armrests enhance InDuplo High’s classic sofa expression and highlight the series’ reinterpreted retro-aesthetic. An aesthetic that flirts with the past but defines the present as part of the future.
Both the High & Low version has a dynamic arm profile and easy straight facades. The legs in lacquered aluminium are like spanning bridges under an organic body. InDublo appeals to both contract and domestic applications, whether in waiting areas, lounges or halls, or simply a sofa for the office or living room. InDuplo’s versatile features bring new life to the interior.

060 Round Shower
Designed by Aarhus Arkitekterne
VOLA
This is not the first shower to be designed and manufactured by VOLA. It is the first ever round-head shower. That’s what makes it special. It is a natural extension of the VOLA range. And it means a luxury bathroom can now be totally VOLA, combining chosen elements from the award-winning Round Series. It clearly belongs to the VOLA range. At VOLA we believe in continuity. The unique products all take their proportions from the classic Arne Jacobsen tap specially designed for VOLA more than 40 years ago. That’s why they work together so naturally. The Round Shower is effortlessly elegant.
Like all VOLA products, it keeps its technical parts subtly hidden from view.

Silenzio
Designed by Monica Armani
Luceplan
Quality of light is combined with acoustic comfort and the beauty of Kvadrat fabrics in the new family of suspension lamps and luminous panels.
The new Silenzio family of suspension and wall lamps that behave like upholstered furnishings and, if required, can be customized with a wide range of fabrics. Besides developing performance for acoustic comfort, these lamps decorate spaces, personalizing them, becoming their protagonists and setting the mood.
For the offering in the catalogue, the Kvadrat textile, Remix 2 designed by Giulio Ridolfo has been selected. It has a “grisaille” look, and a texture with a materic, elegant hand.

Basel
Kvadrat
Basel is a subtle and sophisticated woollen upholstery textile, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Basel comes in five different patterns which are characterised by unique, fine structures created with simple bindings. It offers a wide variety of expressions and the patterns combine very well, projecting a strong sense of tactility and complexity.
Thanks to the versatility Basel offers, it is suitable for a wide range of contexts, from offices and concert halls to hotels and private homes. It offers high content of renewable fibres and is therefore suitable for those looking for a textile with a reduced environmental impact.

Corona Classic
Designed by Poul M. Volther
Erik Jørgensen
A true original. Poul M. Volther's original concept for Corona was to create an easy chair with a wooden frame.
Next year is Corona's 50th anniversary. We mark the event by relaunching Corona Classic. A unigue fusion between Danish design tradition, retro and "New Nordic". The wooden frame adds a warmth to the expression spine that gives the body a comfortable rest. The chair is manufactured in solid oak or walnut with covers in either wool or leather.
