Rethink the cool!
A created object is the result of a long process. People who claim to design products in a matter of minutes must think that babies are made in maternity wards.
Blå Station is driven by a desire to put into production furniture we like and which - to our minds - deserves a place in the market.Curiosity is our fuel as we keep searching, not for what is already known and established, but for the unexpected, yet-to-be-discovered.
In close cooperation with our designers we search for new and innovative solutions, in order to meet the demands and desires of today. Sometimes that compels us to decipher new codes. To dissect the entire production process from standing tree to sitting surface, from iron ore to metal frame.
