HONOURING THE SCANDINAVIAN HERITAGE

This spring was jam-packed with different furniture fairs all over the world, filled to the brim with news and "old news". We have hand-picked a selection of six producers that wonderfully have put an emphasis on their Scandinavian heritage, by relaunching "old" designs in excellent new editions!

System Cado sideboard

DK3

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the iconic Royal System by Poul Cadovius, dk3 is relaunching four new cabinets.

The classic LP storage cabinet
The small desk with one drawer
Handwoven veneer fronts for both the cabinet with push doors and the cabinet with a drop front.

In addition, DK3 launches the wall-mounted System Cado sideboard, with the same handwoven fronts.

But that's not all, Danish DK3 also launches several new products, among others a beautiful, Japanese-inspired table by Jeppe Utzon.

Stool 60: Kontrasti anniversary edition

Artek

Alvar Aalto's Stool 60 celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023 – an extraordinary milestone for a humble wooden stool, which remains in continuous production since 1933! Stool 60 Kontrasti, an anniversary edition, highlights the unique solid wood bending techniques pioneered by Alvar Aalto in 1933. Thermally treated birch veneer in a contrasting hue is used in the bend of the legs to enhance the beauty of this great innovation. The same darker veneer strips reappear in the seat top, emphasizing the economic use of wood offcuts from the legs in the construction of the seat.

holm° has the anniversary edition Kontrasti in stock, either already mounted or in a flat pack carry-away packaging for CHF 318.

Karusell

Kasthall

Yet another jubilee is honoured and this time it's Kasthall who launches a limited edition of Ingrid Dessau's Karusell design from 1959, found in their unique historical archives in Kinna. Ingrid Dessau would have turned 100 years this year and spent 25 years of her life working as their chief designer.

Karusell is available for order until March 3rd, 2024, and comes in 5 sizes and two beautiful colour options.

Chaconia Chair

Fredericia

Another limited edition, celebrating a further grande dame of Nordic design who would have turned 100 years in 2023, is the Chaconia Chair, designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1962 – a praised design piece, although never put into production until now by Fredericia Furniture. This one is not limited in time, but in numbers, so hurry up - there are only 100 signed pieces available from September 1st.

AJ Oxford

Louis Poulsen

Louis Poulsen is bringing back a 60-year-old light design originally destined by Arne Jacobsen for the dining hall at St. Catherine's College in Oxford. The AJ Oxford table light is executed in black metal with a triple-layer hand-blown glass diffuser. Choose between a tall or a short stand and with or without the top metal shade.

Pira G2 shelving system

String Furniture

Ok, so this last one isn't exactly a jubilee just yet - but will be next year when the Pira System by Olle Pira turns 70! String Furniture called in their trusted designers Anna von Schewen and Björn Dahlström to bring the Pira System into the 21st century. And that they did! Experience Pira G2, a modular system that looks as if it has been built as one, here at holm°.

The Pelagus series

Finally, summer arrived in Zurich with a bang! holm° has a selection of oldies but goodies and some hard-to-resist brand-new designs waiting for you to be discovered and brought to your balcony, terrace, or garden.

Discover Grythyttan’s classic series, from the 1930s as well as their brand-new addition, Libelle, designed by one of our favourite Norwegians: Andreas Engesvik. We also carry his lovely blankets from Fram Oslo, which bring comfy warmth should the summer night turn a bit chilly.

Röshults, the pioneer of high-end outdoor kitchens is almost a staple at holm°. Discover their BBQ ranges as well as their adjoining products such as a serving trolley, fire baskets and more at holm°. Our consultants are happy to help you out with any design questions you might have.

Another classic, that never fails is the H55: THE PERFECT sun chair by Björn Hultén was launched at the Helsingborg Exhibition of 1955 and thus inherited its name. On stock at holm°, ready for you to take home for CHF 732.

We also introduce a new design by Swedish Note Design Studio for Skagerak: The Pelagus Series. The table is for those of you who wish to accommodate for 6-8 people, but sometimes for even more! Thanks to its extensions, you can even seat up to 12. The chair comes in a version with and a version without armrests. But it doesn't stop there: the series surprises with very comfortable lounge chairs as well as sunbeds. A table and chairs are on display at holm°.

EJ280

Summer Sofa Specials

We hate to be the party pooper, but after summer comes autumn...

So, that's why we together with Fredericia Furniture from Denmark now launch a summer special dedicated to four of their classic sofa designs.

The EJ220 sofa is a Danish design classic, admired for its timeless elegance and effortless comfort. The balanced firmness of the cushions and precision in the fabric upholstery is the result of many years of experience with sofa production, craftsmanship and attention to materials.
The EJ280 sofa is a modern, minimalist sofa with large cushions and uncompromising comfort.
The EJ288 sofa embodies the Scandinavian approach to design – nonchalant and inviting. The signature curves of the armrests and the inner cushions add extra comfort, whether sitting upright or reclining.
The EJ315 sofa is a structured, yet comfortable design that makes the sofa equally suitable for private homes, corporate offices and other areas of representation.

We have, among other sofas, the EJ280 as well as the EJ315 on display in the shop. Until the end of August, we can offer 15% off these models in a selected range of fabric upholstery materials. When you order now, we will deliver just in time for fall.
