In case you missed it, here's a couple of shots from Hästens' ‘Meeting of Minds’ installation during Stockholm Furniture Fair, where Sweden's oldest bed company showcased the result of their new collaboration with designer Satyendra Pakhalé.

Focusing on sustainable design, Hästens decided to deconstruct the qualities that make their beds so comfortable and apply these aspects to design outside of the bedroom; in response, Pakhalé presented a new prototype Hästens sofa created exclusively for the exhibition, the first product of its type for the bed brand. 

The sofa has been created using the same fine, natural materials and patented spring system as a Hästens bed, hand-made by skilled craftsmen with rigorous attention to detail. The design of the two-seater sofa features an iconic form with a defined profile, enhanced by sleek legs and a specially designed pillow for the seat.

Pakhalé said of the piece;

“I am very enthusiastic about this project. It is no traditional sofa, it’s a much more challenging process where I have been very truthful to the technical comfort of the bed. It is a conversation sofa, sophisticated and subtle with a comfortable feeling. The details make the product.”

In other good news for Hästens, they've also just picked up an award from Wallpaper* Magazine for the Hästens Superia II model in the best bed design category.

We bet they'll sleep well tonight.
