HÃ…G Comes to SiD

July 29th, 2009

As part of their Saturday in Design (SiD) celebrations the Iken and Maxton Fox showrooms will be welcoming international guests from Scandinavian Business Seating, responsible for the HÅG, RH and RBM brands.

Ulf Magnusson and Emilio Marisei are visiting Australia to promote their latest products including the ‘FUTU’ chair from HÅG and the Ambio series of fully recyclable chairs from RH.

Marisei is excited to be among the Australian designs on show at SiD, “It seems to me that Australians have always had an appreciation of Scandinavian design, which is very exciting for us as we launch our latest products to the Australian market.”

The FUTU chair is, in many ways, a revelation in task seating. The design does away with visible levers and handles, producing clean lines and an aesthetic uncharacteristic of most office seating.

“We are excited that SiD will mark the launch of HÅG Futu into the design and project market… we have high expectations that it will be well received by the Australian design community as well. HÅG Futu marks the future.”

Both international guests are energized by the prospects of the Australian market and their partnerships with Iken and Dal: “We really like coming to Australia, despite the long trip,” says Emilio. “The people we meet here, their professionalism and enthusiasm for our concepts are inspiring and rewarding.”

You can meet Emilio and Ulf at the Iken and Maxton Fox showrooms on Saturday, and at invitation-only events on +Friday. The innovative new FUTU and AMBIO chairs will also be on display.

The uncharted plate: Ivan Brehm’s pursuit of crossroads cooking with Gaggenau and human connection.

In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.

AIA calls for ‘measured debate’ on RAH

Following last week’s “tit for tat” comments in South Australia’s parliament, the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) have called for a “more measured debate” and a considered approach to the Royal Adelaide Hospital development. “The case for good healthcare planning in SA is not advanced by politicians of any persuasion engaging in design-on-the-run,” said Tim […]
