Designed by Broberg & Ridderstråle 2024.

Pause works as a bench, sofa, or low table — a single, adaptable form suited to both public and domestic spaces, "offering a little pause whenever needed."

Broberg & Ridderstråle designed Pause for occasional seating in hallways and waiting areas, with soft, removable padding that can cover the full seat or leave space for "a tray, a lamp, or a vase," depending on how it's used. The design takes its inspiration from the Shaker Arch Bench, evoking "a sort of rural aesthetic."

Structure in lacquered oak veneer and solid oak.

Asplund

Asplund designs furniture rooted in Swedish craft traditions, made to move fluidly between styles and settings rather than dictate a single aesthetic. Each piece is built to be lived with for generations — a balance of material integrity, considered craftsmanship, and lasting form.

About Asplund

Asplunds´s philosophy is to offer products of high quality and timeless design, manufactured as sustainably as possible.

“Our vision has always been clean, functional, elegant lines and proportional volumes with a quality that lasts and never goes out of style. An interesting and good contemporary design, that you should be able to like as long as it lasts. Good design for us is a product that you can use and combine to almost any style, it should be obvious as if it has always been there. We put a big effort in making our furniture and carpets.
