New sales representative in Gothenburg

We warmly welcome Krista Gunnarsson, our new sales representative in Gothenburg and the surrounding area.

Can you tell us a bit about your background in design and sales?
– I started working in the interior design industry with textiles back in 1998. It’s a field I truly love, and since then, I have been involved in both interior design and textiles, taking on roles as both an indoor and outdoor sales representative.

What are you most looking forward to in your role as a Sales Representative at Materia?
– I am really looking forward to delving into Materia’s fantastic collection of furniture and learning more about the design philosophy. Additionally, I am excited to meet both new and existing clients and to contribute to creating inspiring solutions for them. I am naturally curious and can’t wait for this new challenge!

 What do you enjoy doing outside of work that nurtures your creativity?
– I find great inspiration in being close to the sea and spending time with good friends and my family.

Krista’s contact information can be found here.

Evaluation and assessment of Materia’s Motus stool

We love hearing feedback from our customers and we really appreciate the time primary school teacher Eleonor Holm took to write this detailed review of Motus stool.

For the past year, I have been using Materia’s stool every day in my teaching.

The stool is easy to lift, flexible and easy to move around in the classroom, even in confined spaces such as between student desks. It is comfortable to sit on and the height of the stool helps you maintain a good ergonomic posture, which is otherwise difficult on a normal chair or stool.
Thanks to the foot rail under the stool, you can easily change the position of your legs (e.g. by resting one foot or both on the rail), which is both comfortable and offers variation.
The seat not only looks good with its rounded shape, but it also stays clean and doesn´t show any signs of wear and tear despite intensive daily use.

I highly recommend this product for people who require flexibility and speed of movement in their work, and even for those with sedentary jobs (e.g. office work), as it gives a good ergonomic posture and keeps you moving.

After more than 20 years of using different types of stools, cushions, yoga balls and chairs, I don’t ever want to use any other chair in my daily teaching.

Eleonor Holm,
Primary school teacher

Newcomer 2020

The design scene is home to a number of promising young talents just waiting to meet their public. The Newcomer award is our way of honouring these young bold designers. Since the award was established in 2006, we have provided an international platform for young designers reaching out and making a name for themselves in a highly competitive industry. We see the Newcomer award as an opportunity to add a touch of playfulness to our range and think even further outside the box.

The 2020 winner is Alexander Rehn and the product is called Rocca. Alexander comes from Munich, Germany, where he studied interior architecture and product design at The Academy of Fine Arts.

Alexander had a clear idea for his product from the start. He noticed how sedentary we have all become, especially in our offices. His aim was to create a playful stool inspiring the body to move, a way of staying active.

What makes the Rocca stool unique is its simplicity. The ring encourages movement and the seat is comfortable, together they interact to form a unit. At the same time the stool is easy to carry around the modern activity-based office. The name Rocca is a play on “rocking chair”, as you sit and rock on the stool.
