Gärsnäs

Judith a personality in the hallway. Hallways, entrances, cloakrooms and vestibules are often left in the shade. Strange, since they are the first thing we encounter in a home or workplace. With our new coat rack design, Judith, Gärsnäs and Studio Stockholm want to change all of that. Judith provides functionality and finesse for our forgotten cloakroom. “We wanted to make something that highlighted a somewhat neglected product category. Judith is modular and works in all contexts, from small hallways to large entrances for offices and conference facilities,” says the designer, Martin Eckerberg Ollas at Studio Stockholm Arkitektur. https://lnkd.in/deYJiUM2

Japanese design meets the art of Swedish furniture making in the HidaHida chair. This unique collaboration between architect Kengo Kuma and Gärsnäs is based on a common view on the importance of craftsmanship and materials. “With HidaHida, I wanted to capture the softness of the human body’s form. The chair embraces you. A hanging skirt at the back elevates the chair’s conviviality and associates it with elegance and fashion. That’s what I wanted to express with HidaHida,” says world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma, who is impressed by the level of craftsmanship at Gärsnäs and Åke Axelsson’s elegant, minimalistic Nomad collection, made in Åke’s workshop. HidaHida is available in beech or oak, with a seat of recycled felt upholstered in fabric or leather. HidaHida in collaboration with Kengo Kuma Associates and Coad & Materials and Gärsnäs.

GOD JUL & GOTT NYTT ÅR! Ja, nu är det äntligen dags: december svischar på och det blir jul igen. Vi på Gärsnäs släcker fabrikslamporna, drar på oss luvorna och tar lite ledigt. Vi vill tacka alla vänner, kunder och kollegor för det gångna året. ////////////////////////////// MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is finally here: Christmas time. We turn off the factory lights and take some time off. We would like to thank all our friends, customers and colleagues for this past year.

I’m beautiful, wouldn’t you say? My name is HidaHida and I’m designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and developed by Gärsnäs. The construction is quite matter-of-fact, with a load-bearing frame of steam-bent beech or oak. The upholstery is draped over me, hence the name Hida, which means to drape in Japanese. The seams give me a feeling of hand-sewn, high-class fashion: haute couture from Österlen, Sweden. HidaHida premieres at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo on 20 November. https://lnkd.in/dgFs8fcu ////////////////////////////// Visst är jag vacker? Jag heter HidaHida och är ritad av den japanske arkitekten Kengo Kuma och utvecklad av Gärsnäs. Konstruktionen är arkitektoniskt saklig, som en bärande stomme av basat bok eller ek. Klädseln har svepts över mig, därför namnet Hida, som betyder drapera på japanska. Sömnaden ger min karaktär av handsytt, högklassigt mode, haute couture från Österlen. HidaHIda har premiär på hotellet Grand Hyatt Tokyo den 20:e november. KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES

A Gärsnäs friend is returning home. Adam Jismark, our new old salesman has come back. “I’ve actually been longing for it,” says Adam from his home in Tranås, where his travels begin and end. “Gärsnäs is a unique and well-renowned company with wonderful products and a great reputation. It’s in that context and environment that I find inspiration to work.” He has been away since 2018. “That’s when you realize what you had and what you miss.” It’s not just the products, but perhaps mainly the people that are important for building relationships and trust. “I’m passionate about interacting with people to discuss our great products and meet with architects and distributors.” Welcome back, Adam Jismark. ----- #garsnas1893 #garsnascircularvision #garsnas2030 #design #scandinaviandesign
