AIRFLAKE
AIRFLAKE
Design By Stefan Borselius
Airflake was created by designer Stefan Borselius in 2006 and was the first product to emerge from the groundbreaking Air concept.
Made of fabric-covered moulded fibre felt, it absorbs sound and prevents echoes. The hexagon-shaped modules are assembled together to form ‘open’ screens that shape or suggest new spaces within a space, while allowing light to pass through unobstructed.
DESIGNER
STEFAN BORSELIUS
“It dampens noise, while letting light pass through.”
As clearly demonstrated by his furniture creations, Stefan Borselius is a designer who takes no shortcuts. Going about things thoroughly is something he learned from his grandfather and great-grandfather, both cabinetmakers. His path to becoming a furniture designer thus began with learning this craft properly at Steneby in Dals Långed.
He then continued his studies in Stockholm at the Carl Malmsten Furniture School and later completed a master’s degree in furniture design at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design.
In the long run, it pays to be thorough – as Borselius, renowned for his great attention to detail, is today amongst Scandinavia’s leading furniture designers. His design range is also impressive. Included in his portfolio are chairs, sofas, lamps, carpeting and room dividers – created for some of the most prestigious furniture companies in Scandinavia.
To break the rules, you first have to master them – if, that is, you want the results to be elegant. In pursuing his curiosity-driven exploration of new ideas, Borselius relies on his mastery of cabinetmaking. The same applies to his use of new materials, found in many of his works, not least the groundbreaking products he has designed for Abstracta.
