YARN armchair
Design: Mia Cullin

Yarn is a unique and environmentally friendly armchair developed in the experimental collaborative project called “The Kinship Method”. The armchair with its few components, has a light weight and an almost floating look. Sustainability and the environmental impact have been central to the design and choice of materials. In Materia’s production, the backrest´s beautiful pattern is braided by hand using hemp strings. The seat and back cushions are padded with hairlok, which is a mixture of horsehair and natural latex, as well as needle felt. To provide extra comfort, wool is also included as part of the back cushion. The wood is FSC®-labelled, and the frame with recycled steel is available in all Colours by Materia (CbM*) colours. Yarn is suitable for many different spaces, such as hotels, restaurants, and in offices. The armchair is also an excellent choice when environmentally friendly furniture is a requirement.

Since the end of August, we have had the honour of having two students from France with us at Materia, Lena Chasseloup and Anatole Durre who normally study at the EPF School of Engineering in Paris, France.

How has it been living in Sweden this autumn?
– This semester in Sweden was a great experience! It was nice to discover a new culture. The nature around Tranås is beautiful, and we were able to enjoy the lake, at least when it was not yet frozen. We had a great time here and we don’t want to go back.

What have you been doing during your time at Materia?
– The work carried out during this internship focused on a time study, with the aim of moving from a weekly to a daily planning. For this, we had to carry out a frequency study as well as a study of production times. Once these studies were completed, a solution had to be found to plan on a daily basis. The solution we chose was to develop an Excel program to automatically schedule and allocate each order by day according to priorities.

What have you learned?
– This internship gave us a better understanding of how a company works. We learned more about production lines and how to make a piece of furniture. We also learned to conduct studies, and deepened our knowledge of programming. This internship was also an opportunity to improve our Swedish.

What is the best thing about being an intern at Materia?
– The best thing about Materia is the very nice atmosphere, everyone was kind and welcoming with us. This is a part of the reason why we will keep very good memories of this internship.

Is there something special about Sweden you will miss when you return to France?
– What we will certainly miss are the people we have met. We will also have a hard time getting rid of good Swedish habits like Fika. The fresh air of Tranås will also be missed.

– It has been a pleasure to have Lena and Anatole at Materia for almost 4 months. With their commitment and curiosity, they have achieved a lot during their time with us. They have been an appreciated addition to our team and we wish them all the best in the future! says production technician Mikael Gustavsson.

Anatole and Lena.

UNI LARGE conference table

Design: Axel Bjurström

Also chairs with high armrests can usually be pushed completely under the table top. The table is available in a number of formats and finishes and is easy to customise. Frame in Colours by Materia (CbM*) powder coating. A cable lid and electrical/USB sockets are available as options. The fabric covered electrical cable is led from the cable trench down through the pillar.

2020 has been a strange and trying year for many, also for us at Materia. It was a year in which we needed to change and adapt to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Equipped with new insights and ways of working, we are now looking forward to 2021 and hope it will be a year in which we can meet again in person.

Despite all the turbulence, we have been fully focused on developing new, well-designed products. These exciting novelties will be launched in the spring of 2021, but we don’t yet know exactly how and when. We are awaiting the recommendations of the Swedish authorities. Therefore, as an early Christmas present, we are offering a sneak peek in the film below.
