Related to the Flakes chair by using the same basic composition and interaction between the frame and the seat. The chair is designed with strong yet soft, inviting curves and it provides excellent, spacious comfort for both private and public use. The edition with integrated return swivel makes sure the seat always repositions itself after use, the way it was planned to face - for instance around the accompanying, circular glass fibre table. Also available in a fixed version where the swiwel is replaced with a classic four leg frame, still providing same high comfort and elegant, simple expression.

Spacious comfort in a classic yet modern design. Like the original Flakes chair the design consists of a simple compositional balance between a few graphically shaped elements. The chair provides the user with a private sphere without using massive upholstery, and it makes it very easy to turn the chair because of the integrated swivel mechanism - without using heavy technical constructions.

Flakes is comprised of two types of material: a chromium-plated tubular steel frame and a seat and back in glass fibre. The properties of glass fibre make it possible to create a very thin glass fibre shell, a slender flake - hence the chair’s name. The transparent seat is constructed of five layers of laminated glass fibre and may be cast with embedded materials of various kinds.

Low and high, stool and barstool, classic materials, elegant details and simple, clear design.
The stools are given the same options for customisation as the Flakes chair; unique or standard graphic decoration in the glassfiber shell or a fully upholstered seat in fabric or leather after own choice.
Because of the similarities but still with its own design and expression, the stools blends in perfectly in balance with the rest of the Flakes family.

Simple and graphic design created for a modern, classic interior. The minimised construction of the frame and seat makes the stool logic and comfortable to use, easy to handle and possible to fit into almost any interior.

The barstool is designed with the intention to create a simple piece of furniture with no direction and accessible from all sides.
Partly to underline the often casual and spontaneous use of a chair of this type and partly to create a graphical object that allows the surrounding space to pass without disturbing the overall lines and surfaces in the interior.
Minimised design is emphasised by simple details and high quality craftmanship. Frame in chrome or matt chrome, seat in Cork, solid wood, solid bamboo or DuPont (TM) Corian(R).
