Stokke Austad

Since 2004 Øystein Austad and Jonas Ravlo Stokke have formed the design team StokkeAustad, which is based in Oslo. They only opened their design studio last year, although their successful cooperation began during their studies at the 'Oslo School of Architecture and Design'. After meeting them once more at this year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, where our attention was drawn to their new, refreshing and scandinavian touched products . I would like to take a closer look here at two selected prototypes. The 'Synthesist Calendar' and the armchair 'The Chair' more than reflect the StokkeAustad basic principle: 'We believe in creating value through design, and that this value can be defined as aesthetic, economic, functional or environmental.'
