Next week the Salone del Mobile opens in Milan and we are happy to invite you to the “The Path Ut Leads Inn” - the Elementa manifestation at the Norwegian Presence exhibition in Zona Tortona.

Stockholm Design Week kicks off today, and we would like to invite you to a few special shows.

Danish design blog Scandinavian Standards have recently interviewed Jonas Stokkeabout the process behind the Elementa UN Divided furniture system.

Design studio StokkeAustad and Norwegian brand Elementa have developed a new furniture system to accommodate the need to easily set up, expand and move workspaces. 
 
The central idea of the UN Divided system is a simple trestle made in tubular steel. With one module it is possible to support almost any type of table top size and shape. You can also build shelving, simple storage - and produce complete office landscapes.

How do we produce our best work? How do we remember what is really important in a mad regime of distractions? How can we find the inner spaciousness to align our work with our deeper sense of priorities?

At Elementa our work is to think deeply about what work is - and to build concrete suggestions on how it can be done better. The dB storage series is the result of long hours of discussions with designers Jonas & Øystein at StokkeAustad - on the relationship between high quality work and our physical surroundings.

The UN trestle table started out as an impulse to make a universal trestle base that would accommodate mostly every type of table top regardless of shape or size. 

Designers StokkeAustad pondered deeply upon the request and came up with a solution which is not only very simple and elegant: It turns out that the it also carries a lot of extra possibilities, extending into shared workspaces,  shelving and beyond.
