True seating collection by True Design

Dezeen Showroom: the True collection by Italian brand True Design encompasses a range of ergonomic seating designed to be informal and adaptable to any interior space.

The True collection includes Fender, a family of sofas and armchairs with tubular steel frames and rounded edges that invite users to sit on their armrests.

Fender is available as an armchair and in two sizes of sofa

"The place where the arm usually rests becomes an additional seat, a comfortable support to use the armchair in a more dynamic and informal way," said True Design.

"Sitting on the armrest is no longer a childish or impertinent gesture since it is made specifically to accommodate and sustain this."

The Fender sofa and armchair has rounded, cushioned armrests that can be used as additional seating

Also featured in the True collection is Code, a range of ottomans that can be combined into different seating arrangements.

The Code poufs come in circular, square and triangular shapes and are also available with an optional backrest.

The Code poufs are intended to be combined to create larger seating compositions

True Design describes the True collection as vast and versatile, suiting a range of environments from retail, hospitality and workspaces to private residences.

Ekstrem chair by Terje Ekstrøm for Varier

Dezeen Showroom: Norwegian brand Varier has rereleased a classic piece of postmodernist furniture, the Ekstrem chair, in new fabric options.

The Ekstrem chair has been largely unchanged since its launch in 1984 and is now available in a knitted velvet fabric called Gentle 2 from Danish upholstery brand Kvadrat.

The shape of the Esktrem chair allows users to sit in a number of different positions

Originally created by industrial designer Terje Ekstrøm, the Ekstrem chair has a playful and organic shape that is designed to become a statement piece in any room.

"Adding character to any space, Ekstrem's qualities of premium design make it a stand-alone object while offering an out-of-the-ordinary sitting experience through its playful functionality," said Varier. "Sit forward, sideways, turn all the way around, or kick your feet up on the armrests and discover comfort in new ways."

The chair is now available in Gentle 2 fabric, which stretches around the tubular form

The Ekstrem chair achieves its shape from a tubular steel frame with polyurethane foam padding. The upholstery is made up of 28 separate pieces of fabric that are sewn together and manually fitted to the unique shape of the chair.

The velvet Gentle 2 fabric is available in six colours, including orange, rose, blue, green, black and white.

Ekstrem was originally created in 1984 by Norwegian designer Terje Ekstrøm

"The knitted stretch velvet has a voluminous expression, featuring a rich surface with an elegant shine," said the brand.

"With its excellent stretchability, the fabric clings to curves in a particularly elegant way, making it ideal for upholstering organic shapes and the perfect fit for Ekstrem."

Lyra lounge chair by Andreas Engesvik for Fogia

**Dezeen Showroom: **made for Swedish brand Fogia, Andreas Engesvik set out to combine the comforts of an easy chair with uncompromising aesthetics in the Lyra lounge Chair.

The Lyra lounge chair combines the graphic lines of a metal frame with the soft, flexible shapes of ample cushioning.

The Lyra lounge chair is meant to deliver supreme comfort without compromising on aesthetics

Between the two is a canvas seat – a material that Engesvik chose for its natural feel and that has the added benefit of being light, so the chair is easy to move despite its size.

Fogia describes the comfort of Lyra as being similar to sinking into a pile of pillows and says the chair is destined to become a favourite in whatever room it is placed.

Its metal legs are available in a selection of four neutral RAL colours

"Lyra Lounge is a good example of what Fogia always tries to achieve – the mix of non-compromise in design, materials, and comfort – that gives our customers a product that they can love and pass on for generations to come," said Fogia CEO Marcus Huber.

Lyra can be ordered with a matching footstool and upholstered in either textile or leather. Its base combines a standard canvas hue with a choice of neutral RAL colours for the legs.

Hunter lounge chair by Torbjørn Afdal for Eikund

Dezeen Showroom: Eikund has re-released a classic of Norwegian design, Torbjørn Afdal's Hunter lounge chair, which features a leather seat pulled taut by buckles.

Designed in 1960, the Hunter chair represented Afdal's take on a popular style of seating at the time known as the "hunting chair", made of solid wood and saddle leather.

Eikund has relaunched and updated Torbjørn Afdal's 1960 design for the Hunter chair

Afdal's version of the chair has a minimalistic aesthetic and is designed to have a fluid and organic form.

Eikund has subtly updated the Hunter chair for its relaunch so it stays true to the design while incorporating the latest innovations in materials and processes, giving it additional durability and timelessness.

The chair features saddle leather that is stretched over the frame using buckles at the back

It features organically tanned leather, solid cast brass buckles, edge stitching details and smooth transitions of wood.

The Hunter chair is available in hardwoods ranging from pale soaped oak to dark oiled walnut or black lacquered oak, while the aniline leather saddle comes in natural, black or cognac colours.

Fluffy chair by Fredrik A. Kayser for Eikund

Dezeen Showroom: furniture brand Eikund has released an updated version of Fredrik A. Kayser's Fluffy chair, known for its long-haired sheepskin seat.

The Fluffy chair is a piece of Norwegian design heritage with contemporary appeal and in 2021 it won an NYCxDESIGN Awards nomination in the Iconic Product category.

The Fluffy chair is a piece of Norwegian design heritage

Launched by Kayser in 1954, the statement chair combines its distinctive long sheepskin upholstery with sloping wood armrests, designed to encourage the sitter to sink deeply into the soft seat.

It is described as "a floating cloud of fluffiness" by Eikund, which uses a hairdresser to trim the fur once it is on the chair, to give the piece its refined appearance.

Fluffy is available with either black or white sheepskin upholstery, both with natural depth and variation in colour.

The hardwood frame comes in pale oak or dark walnut hardwoods, with a range of finish options.

4PM chaise longue by Massproductions

Dezeen Showroom: as part of Stockholm Design Week 2022, Swedish brand Massproductions is presenting a lounge chair made from laminated wood that provides comfort without the need for upholstery.

The 4PM chaise longue is available in two types of wood, including a warm-toned Douglas fir and a slightly darker cherry wood, as well as in a self-build version that pays homage to the work of Italian designer Enzo Mari.

4PM combines curved and flat elements to create a comfortable seat

"The chaise is a combination of curved and flat parts, and has been designed to provide the best possible comfort," said Massproductions.

"From above, the profile of 4PM tapers towards the footrest, which enables the feet to fall comfortably on both sides – something that also simplifies getting in or out."

Its footrest can double up as a side table

The chaise longue has a raised footrest that can double up as a seat or side table, while an adjustable headrest provides the only bit of cushioning.

Following in the footsteps of Enzo Mari's seminal Autoprogettazione collection of self-assembly furniture, Massproductions has also released instructions and drawing for how to build a simplified version of the design from scratch using materials found at any hardware store.

4PM is made from wood with upholstery limited to a cushioned headrest

"You may not be able to afford 4PM," said the brand's chief designer Chris Martin. "But with instructions, you can make your own and get the luxury of the chaise longue without the luxurious price tag."

The product was launched during a pared-back version of Stockholm Design Week, which is taking place in venues throughout the Swedish capital until 13 February 2022 before returning in September to coincide with the postponed Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair.
