Modularity Meets Circularity In This Sleek Collection

Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius have been plumbing the intersection of modularity and circularity, introducing designs that utilize just a handful of components to compose numerous variations. See the Swedish duo’s Able chair from 2024 and Villhem, launched last year for Blå Station. The latter proves how well such systems lend themselves to iteration: The initial offering, a skeletal high-back lounge with steel frame, now gives rise to a table format, a footstool, and a low-back armchair whose compression-molded laminated-wood seat can be specified as is or with cossetting leather-upholstered padding—a version dubbed Villhem Supersoft. In all versions, the exposed joints allow for easy disassembly for replacement of parts, an overall upgrade, or even eventual recycling. Through Scandinavian Spaces. scandinavianspaces.com
