“Our new wooden chair is a combination of craftsmanship and technology. It’s the first chair in the world with legs made from laminated wooden tubes. The legs are hollow and resemble penne pasta, from which the chair got its name.

The hollowness makes it light but with the same strength as a normal wooden chair.”

Susanna Wåhlin

Note Design Studio What colors do you want to see more of this year?

We try to think long-term and work on a project basis rather than according to trends. But right now, I’m craving terracotta red, mustard yellow and brown nuances. Warm and saturated.

And we’re often moving towards pinks - right now faded, dirty pink tones with yellow in them.

What materials are particularly interesting right now?

At Note, we’re very material intensive. We like expressive materials such as terrazzo with strong patterns - we’ll continue to work with that. Natural stone, marble and limestone are other favorites. We often use tiles, they can be used for so much more than bathrooms and kitchens. For example, you can tile surfaces on tables and benches. The choice of materials always depends on the requirements we have to consider in a project.

What inspires you?

I like looking at other awesome designers, right now the brothers Bouroullec. n

Johan Ridderstråle

Broberg & Ridderstråle What materials are interesting right now?

Where do you find inspiration?

We like contrasts in materials, warm leather against cold stone. Transparent glass provides a nice opposition to something heavy. Contrasts that balance out and emphasize one another.

Inspiration comes from different places and all the time.

But when I travel, I’m extremely alert to my surrounding and extra attentive. It’s probably first of all about putting yourself in situations where you have the opportunity to study something precisely and in depth; that’s inspiring.

Any interesting products in the works?

We really like the armchair Bonnet. We’ve now launched it as a two and three-seater It’s small, pretty and easy to furnish, but offers plenty of comfort. It suits both private and public environments and works in various constellations.

What do you hope to bring to the industry?

Maybe curiosity for details and materials. That you don’t always have to shout so loud to go far. It’s especially about determining what you want to contribute with in the context.

What are your primary challenges today?

What have you seen enough of now?

As designers, we face the challenge of balancing the push for low prices with the requirements of socially and environmentally well-manufactured products. We set demands, but few are ready to pay the price. There are two ways to go. Either we produce in low-cost countries, which is a short-term solution. Or, we choose sustainability and require that quality corresponds to price.

I think that some materials mature gradually, and the perception of it changes. Brass, for example. In the beginning, it was new and exciting. Now the material has landed and we see it for the qualities it really has. It’s actually silly to say that you grow tired of things. The foundation of good design is about ensuring that products can live on. n

What colors will we see more of in the future?

What inspires you right now?

We’ve seen a lot of dark blues and intense greens Now brown nuances seem to be taking over. Warm, beige tones. A color we haven’t see for a long time but which seems to be on the way up is pale purple, in the direction of lilac. When we choose colors, it’s important that the color has a versatility. That you can interpret it in different ways and that it has the power and possibility to work in different ways together with other colors.

The bearing idea of 100-year products which is the core of our brand Nedre Foss. Products have to be able to be used for at least 100 years and still hold, both aesthetically and physically.

What are your primary challenges today?

There are so many suppliers that already make nice things.

The challenge is to design beautiful products that are simultaneously sharp in their making. I also see a big challenge in phasing out polyurethane foam from upholstered furniture.

It’s necessary, but it will demand a whole new way of thinking in order to produce soft furniture in the the future.

What materials will we see more of in 2017?

We’ll primarily see a greater focus on pure materials. That they’re assembled well and that the whole production chain is sustainable. Sustainability has already gone from “nice to have” to “must have.”

What have you seen enough of?

Personally, I’m tired of velvet, brass, bronze and marble - it can look good, but now it’s time for a change. I’d rather see solid wood, leather, wool fabrics and perhaps granite instead of marble. Granite is also a much stronger material. n

Any interesting products in the works?

We have many exciting projects going, for example a new bench in solid wood for Vestre. The bench is being built in Sweden and is intended for use outside.

a sure sign of spring Each March, the Spring Fair offers a refreshing injection of inspiration! This is where the industry comes to gather new impressions, view the latest trends and learn about this year’s interior design news.

The trend factor is high when southern and western Sweden’s largest trade fair for interior design comes to Malmö and Gothenburg.

In the course of two days, the latest news and the best selection from Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair are presented to an invited industry audience. Interior designers and purchasers for private and public businesses meet and challenge one another with new thoughts and perspectives.

“The ambition has always been to invite visitors into the world of interior design. Here, you can touch and feel furniture, lighting and textiles from nearly 80 brands, and visitors have the chance to experience colors, structures and materials. That’s where the fair makes a difference,” says Johan Olsson, one of the project leaders behind the Spring Fair and daily market coordinator at Input interiör.

For nearly 20 years, the Spring Fair has succeeded in maintaining its popularity. According to visitors, the success seems to lie in the variety presented in a concentrated area. A maximum of impressions, news and inspiration tailored to the industry audience is packed into a few hours but often affects both purchases and projects throughout the year.

“It’s great that the fair highlights design for public spaces; there’s no one else doing this. It helps those who work with procurement to create thriving and sustainable businesses and workplaces. I get the chance to see and test this year’s news and get tips and ideas I can take back with me to work,” says Andreas Forsberg, who works as a school superintendent at the Ellen Key School in Gothenburg and who has attended the past 10 fairs in the city.

Each year, over 2,300 people attend Input interiör’s Spring Fairs to experience the breadth, diversity and mix that is intended to appeal to both the private and public sectors. There’s not just something, but a whole lot for everyone! The fair is topped off with good food and drinks from Input Food Market, fresh spring flowers, music and shopping opportunities in the Spring Fair’s pop-up design shop. n A sure sign of spring

The design of the elderly center Trädgårdarna takes root in research on environmental psychology and the significance of green environments for well-being. Here, residents are surrounded by a diversified indoor and outdoor environment that encourages integration, activity and exercise.

the residents can enjoy the gardens, walks along the soft bark paths, and the gurgling water that attracts insects and birds.

The medium-sized courtyard combines space for celebrations and large gatherings with quiet corners. Between the nursing and care homes is the largest and most active courtyard, which is connected to the restaurant. Here, integration and activity are in focus and residents have access to an outdoor gym, space for gymnastics and yoga, croquet and space for company.

Indoor and outdoor environments complement each other and the rooms are also designed to contribute to activity and stimulation.

– It was really important for us to escape the institution feeling and we worked actively to avoid the traditional double-sided corridors. The apartments instead face toward common areas so that residents can hear other people and smell what’s cooking in the kitchen, says Linda Björn and continues:

– We’ve focused on freshness. Independence and free movement in green environments create a sense of calm and increased well-being, says Linda Björn from Marge Architects.

Commissioned by Örebro Municipality and in cooperation with LAND Landscape architects and Input interiör, the company has built a modern elderly center in the outskirts of Örebro.

– The interior design is diversified to call to mind a home environment. We’ve picked up the greens and yellows from the facade and let the warm wood materials recur in the interior. Integration is about ensuring that residents at the center feel included.

There must be places for meeting and active spaces full of variation to create a meaningful everyday life.

Surrounded by open fields, there is plenty of room for the large two-story building. The facade repeats the environemnt’s green and yellow nuances in an eye-catching cross-stitch pattern.

– There are plans to exploit the nearby field but no one knows for sure how it will look. To create quality outdoor environments that are independent of plans for the surrounding area, we had the idea for a monastic-like space with secure, leafy atrium courtyards where the residents could go on their own, says Alf Orvesten at LAND Landscape Architects.

– In the entrance hall, we deliberately created an informal meeting place in connection with the staff room, restaurant and goods reception. That area is always full of life and activity.

It has become a popular place that naturally contributes to integration. The beautiful winter garden works in the same way.

To start with, there was no documented need for these spaces but they are being fully exploited, which feels really wonderful, concludes Linda Björn. n

The idea resulted in three atrium courtyards designed to meet the residents’ varying needs for impressions and activity. The smallest courtyard is a calm and quiet environment. Here,

Residents can move between the indoor and outdoor environments on their own, while the staff can keep an eye on what’s going on in the atrium courtyards. The architecture encourages movement and creates a sense of security.

fashion vs. interior design 2

When Filippa K designed her first coffee mug for Rörstrands in the early 2000s, many raised their eyebrows. Since then, creative exchanges between the fashion and interior design industries have intensified and the trends become more and more transgressive.

– Over 20 years ago, my colleague Mette designed a coat in fabric from Kvadrat. The lining of the coat has been replaced three times, but the outside is still like new, which testifies to the quality of the fabric, says Trine Vestergaard, who runs September Salon together with Mette Bjerregaard, and continues: – We use leftovers from the big fashion houses in Italy such as Gucci, Prada and Balenciaga. Instead of producing something new, we take advantage of what already exists. It’s a statement and also a good way of keeping prices down on really highquality fabrics. The same goes for Kvadrat’s furniture fabrics that are perfect for making many of our garments.

Artek’s classic design in Missoni’s fabrics, Vibskov for Fredericia and Diesel’s collaboration with Moroso and Foscarini. The list of exciting collaborations is long and regardless of the constellation’s lifetime, there is usually much interest in the collections.

But far from all collaborations take place in the spotlight.

Which garments?

– Today we primarily use Kvadrat’s fabrics for coats and jackets. The fabrics are often too heavy to use for e.g. shirts and trousers. But keep your eyes open in the future - we’ve started discussions with Kinnasand about their drapery fabrics.

With thinner materials, new possibilities are created.

Since fall of 2015, Danish September Salon has brought something new to the fashion industry. In addition to traditional stores, online shopping and mass production, they’re battling thoughtless consumption. Before each season, a limited number of guests are invited to viewings of the new collection. After the viewing, customers place their orders and the garments are then produced accordingly. Everything that is sewed is sold.

How was the collection received?

Really well, our customers really like the collections and we’ve increased our showings every season. Many garments become very popular. For example, a coat in the fabric Nebula, which was included in the 2016 spring collection. There was so much demand that we were forced to pick up the coat again this year. n

September Salon works actively with sustainability and that’s one of the the reasons why Kvadrat, which produces design textiles for furniture and drapery, was contacted regarding a collaboration.

that were acquired. Today the collection has grown into one of the world’s most comprehensive and significant. The museum contains design classics from both iconic designers such as Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand and from contemporary stars such as Jasper Morrison and the brothers Bourollec.

Vitra Schaudepot is a treasure trove for design enthusiasts.

When the new museum building opened its doors in summer 2016, we were able to view Vitra Design Museum’s famous collection in its entirety for the first time. Over 20 000 objects from different generations and places around the world, joined by the common denominators of interior and design.

Schaudepot was designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron from Basel. The windowless facades made of hand-broken bricks give the building an unpolished look while also creating an optimal environment for conservation of the design collection.

The exhibition is easy to navigate and all objects are categorized in a digital archive. For those who want to explore the modern furniture history in depth, there is also a large library.

In comparison with some of its spectacular neighbors on the Vitra Campus, Schaudepot’s expression is simple. And precisely the building’s modesty creates an exciting contrast and interesting complement to nearby buildings such as Zaha Hadid’s Fire Station from 1993 or the Design Museum, designed by Frank Gehry in 1989. n

The archive has its origins in the private furniture collection of more than 8 000 objects that Vitra’s former CEO Rolf Fehlbaum began on his own in the 1980s. Back then, it was products from e.g. Charles and Ray Eames, Alvar Aalto and Jean Prouvé Vitra Schaudepot

finally finland It’s intimate and tangible, Finnish design. Surely you've drunk out of a glass from Iittala or put flowers in the Alvar Aalto vase at some point? And who doesn’t associate Maija Isola’s poppy Unikko with Marimekko?

Constantly relevant, fine, functional and Finnish. And we like it!

Minimalism and user-friendliness are two important cornerstones in Finnish design. With their iconic products, designers such as Alvar Aalto, Eero Aarnio and Tapio Wirkkala put Finland on the map in the 1900s. And the Finnish form has persisted! With proximity to high-quality raw materials and a long-standing tradition for craftsmanship, the country continues to foster prominent designers such as Pinja Rouger and Riikka Kantinkoski.

As of January 2017, Input interiör has had the opportunity to grow together with our clients in Finland. With our own office and showroom in Helsinki, we can now offer needs-tailored solutions and the market’s widest range on the other side of the Baltic Sea as well.

Together with the industry’s leading architects, we look forward to creating new environments, meeting places and interior experiences. An exciting time awaits us. A new country, a new language and a new design scene, and we’re keen to take part in it all. Welcome to our office on Melkögatan in Helsinki! n Finally Finland

Input interiör is the leading interior design company in the Nordic region. Here are our thoughts on who we are and what we offer.

The right place and the right time Our independence is our strength. We take our point of departure in the individual conditions and requirements of our clients and do not have our own furniture production to take into consideration. Instead, we guide our clients to the right product, in the right make, from the right supplier, with the right price and right delivery date.

Small, medium or large?

The best interior design is that which is tailored to the needs and unique conditions of each individual context. That’s why Input interiör doesn’t have any package deals.

Interior design in dollars and cents Interior design must be functional, ergonomic, long-lasting and economically viable, support the daily business, attract and create well-being. Interior design at Input interiör is different, and this difference is always worth it the long run.

50 000 Martindale?

We’re experts in interior design and guide you through all aspects of the furnishing process. From wear resistance, fire protection and test records to environmental certifications, chemical removal, durability and care instructions.

Circular sustainability We believe in sustainable production, smart material choices, long-term and conscious purchasing, recycling and responsible innovation. Usage of the earth’s limited resources must be part of a cycle - not a one-way journey to the landfill.
