GYM LESSONS

0 Comments

This new collection of furniture, which made its debut at the Salone in Milan is the result of a collaboration between three Danish design companies.

Designed by Søren Rose Studio, crafted by Denmark's oldest cabinet makers Bruno Hansen Carpentry and sold globally by eco pioneers Mater, the Gymnasium collection is a tribute to the simplicity and spirit of sport.

Inspired by "a simpler time in our lives when victories were measured on scoreboards and teamwork wasn't just for meetings" this limited edition collection features the graphic lines and simple silhouettes of the gym court mixed with the warmth of wood.

The Gymnasium collection is created from recycled gym floorboards, and is a mass-produced series that also uses sustainable, eco-friendly materials like renewable pine and controlled Danish oak with water-based fixatives and varnishes.

Plus, for every piece purchased, Mater will be donating a percentage of the profits to the promotion of sports in developing countries.

Game on.
