JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY. OUT OF WOOD IS BETTER

Superstudio’s Daylight Hall is home of the project Reshaped Tradition by the students of Product Development and Furniture Design at the School of Engineering at the University of Jönköping in Sweden. The starting point is the study of a furniture classic: the wooden chair with a wooden stick backrest. Sweden is home to famous models such as Carl Malmsten’s Lilla Åland or Nesto, a stick-backed rocking chair designed by Lena Larsson in the 1950s and produced in Nässjö where the programme is based. The choice was also dictated by the possibility of producing it at KM Zero in a country rich in forests. Five prototypes were created and exhibited: Circa in beech and coloured metalspindles, Wera with its soft lines and exaltation of tactile material sensations, Cloud designed for public areas, Halo made of solid elm with a ring-shaped backrest that envelops and protects, Ovino with its typical wool and tissue backrest.
