Here’s some more information from Guise:

PROJECT BRIEF
The assignment was to redesign an apartment of 45 m² from 1900 on Jungfrugatan in an exclusive area in central Stockholm.

The client’s request was to create storage space as well as giving the apartment a unique identity.

CONCEPT
The main concept is based on breaking up the traditional sequence of rooms and functions to become a nonlinear and nonhierarchical arrangement of space.

The previously strict spatial segregation, with kitchen, living room and bedrooms have been broken up by introducing a forest of columns that define the rooms.

Since the apartment has no walls in the traditional sense, the spatiality is created by the pillars relationship to each other rather than by clear physical boundaries.

PLANNING
The apartment is inscribed in a square of around 45 square meters. The entrance door is located in one corner of the plan, facing one of the apartment’s two windows.

The previous plan had a wall that strict shared the apartment in the kitchen and living area. A small alcove was positioned close to the bedroom.

All the existing walls were torn down and replaced with a forest of columns that separates the rooms from each other.

Even the bathroom walls have been torn down, the toilet is housed in one of the columns, providing necessary privacy.

Also the WC-pillar is freely positioned and is thereby able to be, like all other columns, walk around.

All the functions associated to the apartment is housed inside the pillars.

The positions and size of the pillars derives from functional aspects. All volumes are specially produced for this project goes from floor to ceiling.

The sizes of the pillars vary from 400×400, 600×600 to 800x800mm. The height is 3050mm for all pillars except the bathroom module.

Here’s some more information from Massproductions:

Jig – New chair by Chris Martin for Massproductions.

The outline of an armchair is traced with painted steel tubes, the back and seat voids are then filled with tailored panels. The Jig chair frame is made from 10 steel tubes, each of them simple components in themselves but when placed in a jig (hence the name) and welded in the desired configuration, a good looking and comfortable chair is made. There are many opportunities for exploring colour and contrast with the combination of painted frame and upholstered panels. Jig is a lightweight, robust and stackable armchair intended for commercial spaces and hospitality areas.

“The Jig chair could have been designed shortly after the invention of the steel tube. Even with a well established material, I hope I’ve designed something new and with a unique personality.” Says Chris Martin

In just two years Massproductions has established itself as one of the most exciting furniture companies in Europe. Their first collection included the “Tio” chair, which is generally considered to be a new modern classic. This is their 3rd presentation at the Stockholm Furniture Fair and sees the collection expanding into upholstered products, under the creative direction of designer Chris Martin – an Englishman who has made his home in Stockholm. Together with fellow designer and co-owner Magnus Elebäck, Massproductions continues to deliver elegant, rational and functional furniture pieces to grace our built environments.
