Johan Ansander was dubbed a design star the very moment Blå Station’s CEO and design manager Johan Lindau discovered Maximus from his master degree assignment exhibited at the EX-WORKS 2020 show at Stockholm’s Museum of Furniture Studies. ‘And a very humble star that is. Max is a continuation of Maximus, as well as two completely independent characters.’ While Maximus is all softly shaped wood, Max is crafted with nosaq springs covered with molded foam all held in place by an exact and quite demanding stitching process. The tensioned convex surface ensures comfort and a novel expression that lasts, while also keeping the graphic expression happy and present.
