The exhibition During this year’s London Design Festival, acclaimed Swedish architect and product designer, Jonas Lindvall and Skandium debut the Horizon cabinet, the first in a new series created by Lindvall for the Studio Skandium product range. Skandium will host a preview on 21st September, 4pm - 6pm where Jonas Lindvall will be speaking about his latest architectural projects and how it continuously influences his product design, including the Horizon cabinet for Studio Skandium.
Following the success of our Jonas Lindvall exhibition and book launch at our Brompton Road store last year, this year we present Horizon, the first of a series of furniture collaborations between the Swedish architect/designer and Skandium. Horizon is a drawer unit suitable for a variety of settings and storage use. Made from oak, it features a corrugated facade and powder coated steel legs. Horizon will also be available in a pale grey version, made from MDF with a semi matt lacquer finish. The four-drawer unit follows a language of genuine simplicity. Each drawer opens using a simple push mechanism. The intention was to create a piece of furniture that, although simple in terms of shape and function, the complexity of the design should be interesting on a number of levels. For example, sharp lines that define each of the four drawers continue around the sides, creating a sense of fluidity and continuity. "Horizon's surface was not only designed to add visual interest, but also add a tactile element. Its grooved surface, the use of narrow indentations and push opening mechanism invites to run your fingers along it. I wanted to take this classic form to another level, to offer a sensorial experience." says Lindvall. Jonas Lindvall

About Jonas Lindvall Jonas Lindvall studied interior architecture in Gothenburg, Sweden, furniture design at the Royal College of Art in London and architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen before returning to his hometown, Malmö, where he opened his own office in the mid-1990s. Over the years, Jonas has created villas, hotels, restaurants and more recently, church interiors. As a designer, his portfolio is even more diverse, ranging from furniture and lighting, to kitchens and bathrooms.

From the traditional turned chairs of the 18 th century that inspired the celebrated "Miss Holly" chair, produced by the Swedish furniture manufacturer Stolab, to the ecclesiastical references behind his 2004-08 "Sacred Boxes" series, all provide inspiration for contemporary ideas and solutions. Lindvall's projects display an inherent feeling for the materials and a complex understanding of the techniques and technical processes applied. Quite possibly, this is why Jonas Lindvall has gained a reputation both in Scandinavia and internationally, as a designer and architect of merit.
