About Lens Series Møbelkolleksjon

Lens Series er en møbelkolleksjon inspirert av den konvekse linsen. Kolleksjonen omfatter en skjerm, en gulvlampe, en bordlampe, en vase, en lenestol, et sofabord, et sidebord, en benk og en stol. To komplementærfargede akrylplater deler lys og skygge. Frosted og transparente finish kombineres, slik at fargene skifter med det innfallende lyset. Metalldelene er laget av fingeravtrykksbestandig rustfritt stål og poleres for hånd. Metalldelene er innfelt med fasede skjøter, noe som begrenser bruken av lim og holder hver del stabil.

Production Technology
The metal parts of the Lens Series are made of 304 metal forged fingerprint-resistant metal, and the curved surface of the metal parts need to be polished by hand, in order to fulfill the aesthetic aspect of the curvature and to keep the structure steady in use. PMMA materials are subject to the gradient color PMMA spraying process. Metal parts are inlaid to the glass profile with joints beveled, which not only avoid an excess use of adhesives and enhances eco-friendly property, but also keep the combination furniture firm and steady.
Design Challenge
How to make a trade-off in respect of art aesthetics and structural stability of the furniture is considered the biggest challenge in the design process. In the early phase of design, we chose to use tinted metal and colored PMMA glass. However, we came to realize that structural stability and comfort are crucial for furniture products, and the special material nature also challenges how we present the best art furniture.
