As Offecct is a design company, the highest level of design in every detail is the basis of our operation. To us it´s not enough to launch another chair or sofa into the market. We want to add other qualities in addition to aesthetics with every new product that we releases. This ambition is the core of the Offecct Lifecircle philosophy.
Airberg
Airberg by Jean-Marie Massaud is an innovative piece of furniture that breaks with conventions. The inspiration behind the form of Airberg is a combination of a comfortable, inviting piece of seating furniture and an iceberg filled with vacuum. The furniture’s abstract form is light in its expression and Airberg is contemporary both in its design and in the technique used.
Airberg consists of a structural case which gives the impression of being filled with a vacuum, but is in reality filled with a flexible padding material. The unique craftsmanship used in the production of Airberg makes it possible to create a deconstructed piece of furniture that is more defined in its asymmetry. Jean-Marie Massaud has created a piece of furniture that is comfortable, sustainable and competent, making it highly contemporary.
”Offecct is prominent in offering the market a strong and varied product selection. This means that with Airberg I could take a step further and break with conventions and question existing norms of what a piece of seating furniture usually looks like”, says Jean-Marie Massaud.

Archipelago
Archipelago is a wooden table and is designed in three sizes, in three different heights with a set of wheels underneath. Its calm expression and tactile surface makes it equally fit for use in the ever changing environment of an office, as well as in the privacy of your home. Alone or in a group, as a side table or a coffee table, the design of Archipelago pleases many different needs and fits very well in the entire Offecct collection.
”The idea of Archipelago was to create a series of surfaces almost like small islands that furniture could be arranged around. The tables are made using a craft based process of production, with attention to details such as angled edges and the use of several different diameters. Archipelago is pared back in its expression, unwanted and unnecessary parts are removed, reducing thickness so everything has a very light feel to it”, says Michael Sodeau.
Bird
The table Bird, designed by Johan Ridderstråle & Mats Broberg, is a different ‘single table’ whose design brings the mind to a bird’s leg. With a connected form and special design the table has its own expression but remains easy to apply. Bird can stand alone or complement different seating constellations. Bird has a graphic yet dynamic form language due to its many directions. The unique foot consists of a water-cut sheet and a triangular pipe that has the features of a bird’s foot. The idea to Bird came when the creators visited the the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm to collect inspiration.
“We met Offecct about a year before the launch of Bird and discussed the possibilities of elements complementing seating constellations, such as single tables with unique forms. We all agreed that there was a need for a funny table with lots of expression in this genre. Offecct liked the concept and a year later Bird was launched”, says Johan Ridderstråle.

Gate, Double
Imagine a sofa to spend a few minutes in while waiting for a friend, preparing for a meeting or getting ready to catch a flight. A pit-stop while on the move, to recharge electric devices as well as weary feet. This sofa is Gate, a new, innovative furniture concept.
”Gate is a sofa with rigorous proportions for people to sit and wait in. We have worked in great detail with measures from a technical as well as from an emotional aspect. This is a sofa for public spaces, where one can sit back to back with a stranger without invading on anyone’s personal space”, explains Ola Rune.
