Anders - A look at an old classic!

The Anders sofa den was one of our first products, designed by James and Joe to redefine what a chair could offer. Anders went beyond seating: it became a place to relax, recharge, and mentally refuel. High walls cocooned users, blocking out noise and distractions. For ultimate privacy, a roof panel was also available.

Not only was Anders designed for employee wellbeing, but also to be stylish. We are designers at heart, and that is reflected in all of our products. Anders had to be bold. Contrasting fabrics weren’t available as standard in the commercial furniture market, and we changed that. Anders brought bold colours and dynamic angles, standing out from the more traditional (dare we say it, mundane) furniture that workplaces were all too often associated with. Available as an individual booth or two and three seat options, Anders was as flexible as it was beautiful and gave us the foundation of knowledge that has made us who we are today.

Anders is still available to purchase, though it would be approached as a bespoke product. Maybe a redesign for the current market is in order. Watch this space!
