“The Nya Berlin (New Berlin) was an archetypal piece of Carl Malmsten’s design and was created for use in the Swedish consulate in Berlin. With this sofa as a reference, I started to look at how we worked architecturally, instead of just treating say the upholstery. I decided as an alternative to objectify it’s form from a perspective play. As we do with fashion we played with the proportion, lineage, and structure — stretching, squashing, and pulling the simplistic shape to create new sculptural forms. Denim is our heritage and I thought it was super interesting to treat the upholstery in the same way as we approach our jeans — by washing, bleaching, and hand-drying the ieces to create very bespoke finishes.” Text by the designer Jonny Johansson at the presentation of Acne’s first furniture collection
