osko and deichmann: straw


'straw' chairs by osko + deichmann

'straw' chairs by osko + deichmann for bla station was the winning design
for the forum's yearly +1 award at the stockholm furniture fair 2010.
the bent tubular steel has been heralded as the symbol of modernity in furniture design
ever since the radical innovations designed by mart stam and marcel breuer in the 1920’s.
this industrial technique completely innovated household design and matured to an undisputed
iconic element of design vocabulary. 'straw' is a homage to classic tubular steel furniture by
visually and physically challenging tradition and implementing controversial detail into
the canon of the design.

one such controversial detail is the kink found on the chairs. they provide a contrast
to the disciplined aesthetic of steel as the objects seem spontaneous as if folded by hand.
