On Their Design Philosophy
“A good product builds and expands on tradition while simultaneously breaking the rules of said tradition. Modifications and elements of surprise, even changes that are less radical, stimulate thought and reflection, also who may not hold a particular interest in design. This tiny second of reflection is the window of opportunity where we can communicate with the users and that’s what we strive to tap into.”
The long-standing studio
The studio of Andersson & Voll is located in the heart of Oslo, housed in one of the oldest buildings in the area dating back to 1802 – a farm structure-cum-studio located next to the beautiful river of Akerselva, an area that is home to several design studios and art schools.
The Pavilion chair was designed to equip the Langelinie Pavilion, built in 1958 by the architect couple Eva and Niels Koppel in a modernist style on the Copenhagen waterfront, not far from the Little Mermaid. The specifications required that the chair was stackable, suitable for an intensive use, and consistent with the poetic and aery style of the place. To achieve this, Torbøn Anderssen and Espen Voll married curved plywood and curved metal tubes, to produce a sturdy, comfortable and slender chair. A success.
