HINKEN Litterbin and planter 2008 Design Thomas Bernstrand Manufacturer Nola Industrier website www.nola.se e-mail headoffice@nola.se phone +46(0)87021960 |
||
| It's not often that a litterbin looks so good that you're reluctant to throw trash into it, but the smooth contours and gleaming surfaces of Hinken could make you think twice. Yet at the same time, its efficient plastic-fibre and steel design has created an economical and ergonomic means of placing rubbish where it belongs: out of sight. Free of any embellishment or decorative details, the litterbin is discreet enough for modern museums, galleries and other design-conscious places, yet conspicuous enough to get noticed easily.

| This impressive tiered seating system has the glamour of a grandstand and the efficiency to turn any outdoor arena into a stadium. Used indoors, it creates a space-saving seating arrangement that is as striking as it is practical. Like stadium seats, Wembley combines the staircase and seating in a single expression. The bench-like seating arcs into a sleek curve that gives spectators vantage points in several directions. Whether seating spectators, shoppers or students during a break, Wembley provides uniquely multi-level seating that can be enjoyed by people in many walks of life. Wembley unique seating array is made for arenas, lecture halls, libraries, universities, public parks, playground, public baths, schools, shopping centers and terraces. Wembley is made in oiled oak, oiled teak or alkyd oil enamel on pine. The frame is made in recyclable cast aluminum. Photo Jann Lipka |

| cDIM award winning product in the professional category, Valencia Spain 2004. Gobbles is a perfect product when you have a lot of guests in your home. There will be no coats on the floor or on the bed. The hook is attached to a stretchable cord so that the clout follows the hook when it is unhooked. The first person at the party normally leaves before the person coming later. This means that the last coat on the hook will fall. With Gobble coat hanger it will not happen. Photo Joakim Bergstrom |

The very pronounced clarity of the design makes Fat the archetypal item of furniture for the purpose. The robust construction provides durability for use in heavy duty working environments. Great emphasis has been placed on sitting comfort, the angle of the back boards providing pleasing support for the back. Fat is available as a bench and as a sofa, with or without armrests. |

GEOSCOPE© Art project by Thomas Bernstrand 1996 Commissioned by Stockholm Cultural Capital of Europe 1998 |
|||
| I choose six cities on earth, of which Stockholm is one. The other five are to be dispersed over the world. One city for each part of the world. In the centre of every city I select an open place, a square or a park. In the selected places I "plant" five cylinders, so-called Geoscopes© , in the existing ground covering. The cylinders are asymmetrically spread out over an area of about ten times ten meters. Every cylinder has that inclination towards the ground that corresponds to the angle of inclination that the cylinder would have had if it went straight through the earth to one of the other five cities. Six cities on earth that are bound together with cylinders that runs fictitiously through the earth. Inside every cylinder a camera and a projector will be placed. The camera in the cylinder that is directed towards say Havana is connected with the projector in the cylinder in Havana, which is directed towards Stockholm and vice versa. Chosen cities on earth are in this way connected together. When a person is looking into the tubes in any of the six cities she can see if there is anyone looking towards them from the other five cities. This way an immediate contact between people in those different countries is created. A person in say Vladivostok can in one moment meet a person in Chicago and in the next turn towards Mecca and connect with another world citizen. People will meet face-to-face and no one or nothing can disturb them. Economical, political, cultural ore religious antagonisms or presumptions cannot have an influence on or affect the contact in these accidentally arisen meetings. The observer meets the people of the world and becomes aware of their proximity and existence.

| "The Man Who Lives in The Apartment Next to You". Your neighbour? I let a man squeeze himself towards a large glass wall so it looked like I had scanned through the wall into my neighbour where he was standing trying to hear what was going on in my apartment. Art project with video and photo from the exhibition "How to live" in my apartment 2003. Photo Fredrik Sandin Carlson |
