Mega Ottoman

Description

There's a mania for Mega! Stockholm-based Massproductions nabbed Furniture of the Year at the Elle Decoration Swedish Design Awards for this elegantly minimalist line with a thin, steel tubing frame that supports extravagantly plump cushions. Company founders and designers Chris Martin and Magnus Elebäck already enjoy a reputation for their high quality offerings in a modernist vein. Chris's design for the Mega Ottoman was originally inspired by the the comforting sight of freshly baked bread in a wire rack. With the frame available in a choice of finishes, options run the gamut with a wide range of possible fabrics.

“Our goal is to use industrial processes to create furniture which people can get excited about, something that gives them pride of ownership,” says Chris Martin of Stockholm-based Massproductions. “You can do that with a hand-crafted piece, but for us the satisfaction comes from achieving it with an industrially produced article.” Chris, an Englishman, and Swedish business partner Magnus Elebäck first met as independent consultants and eventually put their accumulated knowledge to work for themselves in 2009 by opening their own furniture company, Massproductions.

Within modernist design codes, they strive for a “dignified simplicity” and their emblematic Tio Chair took the prestigious Golden Chair award from the Swedish Association of Architects. Also cognizant of environmental factors, a core concept is to produce “cleverly and in volume” to emphasize sustainability as well as social ethics, Chris says. "We believe that responsible and rational mass production benefits the consumer, the factory worker and everyone in-between.”
