Richard Lampert Stockholm Bed
German furniture manufacturer Richard Lampert has launched the Stockholm bed, envisioned by Alexander Seifried and based on his Lönneberga design. Conceived back in 2009, Lönneberga is a stackable bed with a high recognition value that derives from slanted head- and footboards, which facilitate stacking whilst also giving the bed a unique character. 12 years later, Seifried has revisited his original design, building on the characteristic slanted head- and footboards. “When Richard asked me about a new stacking bed, the overlapping wooden slats came directly to mind,” he explains. “This initially led to Lönneberga. With its equally distinctive shape, the Stockholm double bed picks up the characteristic design language of Lönneberga.” With widths of 140, 160 and 180cm, Stockholm offers more space than its predecessor and is also available with a higher headboard and an optional drawer. Initially launched in a multiplex birch, white melamine and black-brown phenolic resin finish, Stockholm is now also available in solid oak. “The evolution from Lönneberga to Stockholm seems so simple and obvious now that it is part of our collection,” concludes Lampert. “But first you have to come up with the idea.” www.richard-lampert.de
