The contrasting materials and structures enhance the organic shapes that define Pond. The monochromatic colour scheme brings harmony and a sense of calmness, further underlined by the use of tactile materials. It works nicely both as a solitary table and as part of a larger group, whichever you prefer. Depending on availability, it is also possible to order a bespoke version of Pond, made from leftover materials from other productions. This sustainable approach ensures that waste is kept to a minimum. Because different stones are used in different productions, the aesthetic effects are varied and cannot be planned in advance, creating a truly bespoke piece of furniture. For 2018, three new tabletops in ash-lacquered to match previous tables in the series-are added to the Pond family.

Monica Förster

Inspiration från samisk slöjdkonst, asiatisk matkultur, den glamourösa mode­världen – och naturen. Monica Försters design är en komposition av känslor och motsägelser som tillsammans skapar något nytt, starkt, användbart och poetiskt.

Som till exempel hennes bord Breeze för Swedese, inspirerat av en sommarvindpust som skapade små vågor i bordsduk­en. Evig blir påminnelsen om en ytterst liten händelse en slö sommardag ... Man kan också säga att Monica Försters arbete karaktäriseras av mötet mellan den renodlade formen, antingen inga eller starka färger – och hennes aptit på nya material och ny teknologi.

Monica Förster är född 1966 och uppväxt nära polcirkeln i norrländska Dorotea. Hon är utbildad på Beckmans Designhög­skola och Konstfack i Stockholm, där hon också har sin designstudio. Medan uppdragsgivarna för hennes möbelindustri- och produktformgivning finns i Italien, England, Tyskland, Japan och Sverige. Några av Monica Försters arbeten tillhör de internationellt mest kända nutida designobjekten.

Brand description

Many modernist architects were universal designers with not only a clear understanding of designing houses, but also the interior, the furniture and almost the clothes the owners might wear. Swedese's founder, Yngve Ekström, was no exception. Together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm, Yngve Ekström was at the core of a generation of designers who made the concept "Scandinavian Modern" famous all over the world. With a keen eye, he designed Swedese's furniture, he designed together with L + M Architects also the head office building, logo, catalogues and personalised Christmas cards including their own poems. And so on.

The most well known design of Yngve Ekström's extensive portfolio is the Lamino armchair from 1956, which is still manufactured and sold all over the world. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design by the Swedish interior design magazine Sköna Hem.
