| BLECK COLLECTION |
| TAF Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom |
| Winners of the prestigious Bruno Mathsson Award, Swedish designers Gabriella Gustafson and Mattias Ståhlbom were inspired to design the Bleck Collection by studying the construction of stretchers on the reverse sides of oil paintings. Bleck blurs the boundaries between what is appropriate for the home and what is intended for a public setting by presenting a design that works perfectly for both. Made from solid beech and a variety of leather and fabric options, the collection consists of a sofa, an easy chair, and low tables. |
