Summertime in Sweden is unique. It’s a time when cities and their inhabitants come to life, and a season when temporary parks and outdoor products are being put in place. Then September rolls round, and the places, products and people disappear. Where do they all go? Nola thinks they should stay in place all year.
Långbordet is currently one of Nola's most popular products, and its history began at a community development project in Helsingborg. White Arkitekter worked collaboratively with artist Ebba Matz to develop the concept. After they carried out interviews with locals, the inspiration for a long table was born.
Charlotte Petersson Troije, part of the team behind Work Lounge, joins us to share her career experiences, discuss her burning interest in harnessing human potential, and describe ways we can gain insights together at work.
The outside is the new inside, as many say right now. Perhaps it’s to do with the corona pendemic, or connected with our physical and mental wellbeing. Regardless of the reasoning, it’s definitely time we broke with the ’inside norm’ and in doing so our preconceptions that work always has to happen indoors.
The office is no longer a permanent workplace. Neither are our homes. New times and working methods require new solutions, which is why Nola is taking a progressive step forward and introducing upholstered furniture for the outdoor office. Work Lounge is a new era workplace in the open air.
Does public space in Sweden lack iconic designs? Agneta Stake doesn’t think so. She tells us what to look for, and how to find them.
