#BlindDate at Orgatec’24 : KRALL+ROTH X Danish Designmakers X Thomas Albertsen

KRALL+ROTH goes #BlindDate X Danish Design Makers | ORGATEC 2024
How can responsible design minimise our impact on the environment?

As part of ORGATEC, the Danish Design Makers and MÅLBAR launched the #BlindDate format - an innovative design experiment in which 19 Danish designers collaborated anonymously on the topic of REDUCTION - based on specifications from unknown industry partners.

KRALL+ROTH was honoured to be a partner of the #BlindDate 3 times!

"No foam. No glue. Build for disassembly.
Volume occupies and utilizes space in the same way a cushioned chair filled with foam does. However, the chair is lightweight, and made without foam.
Result: Fewer materials, less consumption. And after a long life, the chair is easy to disassemble.
The design is easy to interpret. The chair has an inner frame covered with a self-supporting fabric that serves as the seat and backrest.
The fabric shrinks when heated to 120 degrees, and is mounted without tools. This makes the upholstering very simple and quick. Additionally, if needed the fabric is very easy to replace.
The inner frame itself is made with minimal use of materials, as it should not contribute to the shape in any way other than holding the fabric stretched out." - Thomas Albertsen.
