I samband med att 2-sits- och 3-sitssoffan av Pauline Deltour lanseras publicerar Offecct också en bok om formgivaren, i en bokserie som ger en fördjupad bild av företagets många långa samarbeten med världsledande formgivare.
En avskalad grafisk och lekfull barpall med ryggstöd och lätt svikt – no more, no less. Ronja Reubers Nomole, designad för Offecct Sverige, är både minimalistisk och bekväm med låg materialåtgång och enkel uppdatering som gör den långsiktigt hållbar.
Offecct’s stand for Stockholm Furniture Fair 2020 has been created by Staffan Holm, one of Sweden’s best-known designers, who was recently named Designer of the Year in Residence Magazine’s Stora Formpris Award. With warm materials and Japanese influences, Staffan has designed a place for inspiring meetings, which will serve as a calm oasis what is otherwise a hectic environment at the fair.
Since Offecct became a part of Norway-based corporation Flokk, the design-oriented company has been given new opportunities to evolve. The new setup was finalised in August this year, with Maria Olofsson Karemyr as Brand Manager and Tobias Strålman as Design Lead. Together they will continue to develop products with a high degree of innovation on the planet’s terms.
From May 6, 2019, Anders Englund will continue to work with OFFECCT’s strategic design work, now within the framework of the Flokk Design Council.
The Jin chair garnered a great deal of attention when it, as a prototype under development in Offecct Lab, was exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2017. Now it is part of Offecct's range presented in biobased Flax Fibre, and an upholstered version is being planned 2018.
The design team Daniel Debiasi & Federico Sandri divide their time between their studios in Verona and Bolzano. From 2018, they also belong to Offecct's circle of new designers who add new thoughts to the furniture of the future. Their first project for Offecct is an exceptionally flexible armchair named Shift.
– Offecct's 2018 news collection is summarized under the motto: Furniture with a mission, that is, every piece of furniture has a clear task that helps people navigate the increasingly thorny landscape that separates away from home, public from private, work from leisure, explains Offecct's Design Manager Anders Englund. Besides being comfortable to sit in, Jacket has a highly pronounced mission.
Dune, designed by pioneering Swedish design studio Front, offers an exciting new response to the constantly changing needs of our work places and public spaces. Dune has been developed for the spheres where the need for informal meetings intersects with the demand for relaxed seating.
Stockholm based architect and designer Mattias Stenberg continues his collaboration with Offecct. Following the success of Carry On, a soft stool in different colors featuring a carrying handle, and the On Point table incorporating the possibility to carry a foliage, it is now time for the Move On stool.
Surf is moved around easily, yet it is no “furniture” according to the designer, rather “a tool for achieving maximum flexibility in activity-based venues.” Whether there is a computer or a couple of cups of coffee sitting on top of it. The light table blends well into Offecct's Life-circle philosophy.

After several successful collaborations between French designer Christophe Pillet and Offecct, the new sofa and easy chair Avignon offer missing pieces in an ongoing effort to map out the borderland between the domestic sphere and the contract world.
In 2014 Christophe Pillet and Offecct launched the comfortable and timeless collection Ezy. Originally designed for the famous Pullman Paris Eiffel Tour Hotel, the collection is now supplemented with a new easy chair.
Monica Förster’s Sheer chair was developed with the ambition to create a chair that is as light as possible, for a number of reasons, including making it easy and ergonomic to use.
As Offecct is a design company, the highest level of design in every detail is the basis of our operation. To us it´s not enough to launch another chair or sofa into the market. We want to add other qualities in addition to aesthetics with every new product that we releases. This ambition is the core of the Offecct Lifecircle philosophy.
BETTER MEETINGS, A BETTER WORLD
Our passion lies in developing design for meetings between people. Our craftsmen and women, raised in a strong local furniture-making tradition, collaborate with leading international designers to create solutions that inspire creative discussions and stimulate the sharing of thoughts and ideas.
We are also convinced that we can and must have a positive impact on the world around us. This is why it is only natural for us to be sustainable in everything we do – environmentally, socially and financially. We call our philosophy Offecct Lifecircle.
