AK2740 Cabinet, A Tambour Danish Storage Design with Exquisite Design Language

Image
Traditional floor-to-ceiling wine cabinets usually take up too much space. Meanwhile, AK2740 wine cabinet designed by Nissen & Gehl from NAVER, a brand that focuses on solid wood design in Denmark, breaks this tradition. The combination of the hand-made solid wood Tambour design and stainless steel legs are even more compelling. Inside, the cabinets are fitted with 2 massive wooden drawers with visible finger joints, demonstrating the solid craftsmanship, and adjustable glass shelves, so the interior of the cabinet can be customized as needed. The bar cabinet comes with a Corian® insert for wine bottles. The decorative legs in brushed steel add lightness and elegance to the furniture, that makes it easy to place at home. Interested?

Varier Variable Balans Kneeling Chair from Norway, the Original from 1979

Image
Nowadays, more and more people emphasize the importance of healthy living and work-life balance. Among all the kneeling chairs nowadays, why would we strongly recommend VARIER? The reason why is that Varier Variable Balans Kneeling Chair remains the recognizable design by Peter Opsvik, the first and original kneeling chair in 1979. Backrests can be installed as an accessory if needed. Conventional office chairs distribute our body weight to the hips and back of the thighs, while kneeling chairs allow our body weight to be distributed between the hips and knees, reducing the pressure on the back and spine, and also help to strengthen our core muscles. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Variable Balans, VARIER has newly launched the Monochrome series with the signature of the designer Peter Opsvik. Interested?
