Mjøs Park, Norway: The right to roam
Summer 2020 saw the official opening of Mjøs Park to the public. The aim of this project was to transform the private industrial park into an attractive and social meeting place for people of all ages, while also incorporating the history of the area into the development. A beautiful area that deserved a high-quality focus when decisions were made on furnishings.
At last year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair, Vestre was awarded “Best Stand” for our commitment to sustainability and our reusable stand design. The assignment given to Note Design Studio for the stand design for this year's Salone del Mobile was therefore crystal clear: reuse as much material as possible from last year's fair in Stockholm.
Design: Espen Voll, Tore Borgersen and Michael Olofsson
Well-designed and robust furniture for outdoor seating areas like cafés and bars has become an increasingly common and valued
part of the cityscape. The April series’ new bar table complements the existing bar stools, and together they create relaxing meeting places while offering a pleasant, higher viewing angle over the surroundings.
The table’s steel legs come powder-coated in 200 different RAL colors and the tabletop’s two sturdy wooden panels are available in four types of wood for use both outdoors and indoors.
Building The Plus: The use of wood
The future is being built from timber! So, it's a given that the same applies to the industry of the future and the world's most environmentally friendly furniture factory. Welcome to the third video in our new series #BuildingThePlus—this time on building using wood.
September 15 is International Day of Democracy, a day well worth celebrating. But why not celebrate democracy every day through what we call “everyday democracy”? Spaces where people can come together despite their differences, share thoughts and experiences, and get to know each other. When we do so, we suddenly discover that there is no “us” and “them”, only “we”.
In our opinion, this is the best way to prevent the polarizing of
society. And it’s with these democratic meeting places that we hope to change the world—one neighborhood at a time.
