Design methodology and interdisciplinary collaboration are becoming more widespread in all layers of public and private companies. This means that good, relevant tools that are adapted to these types of work situations are needed. LEGO and yellow post-its are great, but the furniture we use also affects how we work.
This insight was the direct inspiration for Knekk, a piece of furniture that will make the user "active and forward". By splitting the seat in two, where one part gives you support for short periods, and the other gives you rest when you sit for a little longer, you get a piece of furniture that stimulates activity and engagement. Together with the table that it belongs to, Knekk is a welcome addition to a world of office interiors designed for a different time.
The fact that Fora Form has chosen to put Knekk into production for its 90th anniversary, tells us that the furniture also meets a real need in the market.
