SMYG

BeckmansXGärsnäs

​

SMYG is a collaboration between me and Annelie Wihlborg. We received a brief from Gärsnäs, who wanted a shelf for the home office. SMYG’s angled shelves offer concealed storage that hides the contents without the need for a door. The angles play with perception and the relationship between object and body.

Smyg is mainly made of solid Swedish beech with artisanal joints, both in line with Gärsnäs' history as well as the Scanian landscape. The modular aspect of the design is central, we want the shelf to be able to accompany us through life, as well as being a piece of furniture that can function as a bridge between the aesthetics of the office and the home. The shelf can be used both solitary or in group, with each interstice serving a purpose. With inspiration drawn from 1930´s architecture, the graphic blue line in each vertical plane defines the form.

​

The shelf was produced by Gärsnäs and was showcased at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2023.
