BUFFER BOOKEND - PINK EDITION X STORM Massproductions presents its latest product in The Little Things collection – Buffer, a bookend made of powder-coated steel. Massproductions presents its latest product in The Little Things collection – Buffer, a bookend made of powder-coated steel. Bookends aren't just for holding books, they are like mini pieces of art with a history. They've been around since ancient times, made from all sorts of materials like stone, metal, and wood. When Massproductions' founder and design chief, Chris Martin, designed the Buffer bookend, he drew inspiration from the railway's "buffer stop," a device that halts trains at the end of the track. During the design process, Chris explored various materials before settling on powder-coated steel. "A stop sign. A parchment coloured ghost. A pretentious intellectual green. An unpredictable group of colours, that funny enough, enjoy each others company." - Magnus Elebäck   BUFFER Designed by Chris Martin, 2023 Material: 20% recycled steel from Finland Measurement: 98mm x 120mm x 172mm Finishes: Warm red, Ivory, Blue Green "The idea of referencing a railway buffer for the design was a good starting point but I explored quite a few materials and shapes before I came to a pleasing solution, in the end 8mm steel plates gave the best weight, function and expression” - Chris Martin The bookend consists of three laser-cut steel plates made from 20% recycled steel from Finland. With a weight of over 1.7 kg and non-slip feet, the bookend stands firmly in the bookshelf. Buffer is available in Massproductions Red, Ivory and BlueGreen and adds a pop of colour to the end of any row of books. In the end, whether your bookends are classic and refined or quirky and fun they all share one thing in common: they bring a charm to your bookshelf! Signal Yellow is sold exclusively through SCP in London.

Inviting, friendly, casual and sumptuous – these are the qualities represented by “Patch”, a new modular sofa system designed by Chris Martin, Designer in Chief and founder of Massproductions. "By replacing large volumes of foam with pocket springs we were able to not only save resources but also facilitate a comfort superior to regular foams and webbing straps. The springs give a buoyant experience with no dead zones.” - Chris Martin,Designer in Chief "A massive sofa system isn’t the type of product that a young company would launch, we are almost out of our teenage years now, and in the context of our collection Patch just seems to fill a space and fit.” - Magnus Elebäck,Creative Director and FOUNDER Patch is characterized by its distinctive lozenge shaped backrest panels and features a construction that minimizes the use of polyurethane foam, incorporating steel springs from the bedding industry and clever corners. An up turned duffle bag, a moc toe boot, a string of sausages – all of these influences are relevant to the design expression of the sofa with its distinctive lozenge shaped “patches”. The rounded forms of the top panels soften the large volumes of the seating and backrest modules, giving Patch its distinctive character. Patch was photographed in one of Lithuania's architectural treasures. Step inside the Iljinas family house here. Patch is available in ten different modules and eight configurations.

The ILjinas House Amidst the chill of a winter day, Massproductions explored one of Lithuania's architectural treasures. Step inside the Iljinas family house... February- 2024Words by Sanna Fehrman Amidst the chill of a winter day, Massproductions explored one of Lithuania's architectural treasures. Step inside the Iljinas family house... Originally owned by railway engineer Jurgis Iljinas and his wife Alexandra, the couple purchased the plot of land from Pranas Gudavicius, the owner of an adjacent apartment building. Designed by the renowned engineer and architect Arnas Funkas, the house at K. Donelacio 19 exuded the charm of an urban villa. In 1941, the ownership of the house changed hands, and it housed various occupants during the Soviet era, including singer Gražina Matulaitytė and her husband, journalist Aleksis Rannits. "The house was clearly conceived during the art-deco turns modernism transition phase which is as confusing as it is beautiful" MAGNUS ELEBÄCK Following a meticulous 2018 renovation that maintained the exterior and interior details, the building now shines in white, reminiscent of its Art Deco glory days. "Our Patch Sofa is produced in the charming little town of Kaunas. During one of many trips to Kaunas, I stumbled across the Ilijnas House on my morning run. The house had such a presence with its experimental, brave, early modernist façade. I had to know more about the house, and on the next trip I was able to see this well-preserved house from the inside as well." MAGNUS ELEBÄCKCEO, MASSPRODUCTIONS Venturing into the heart of Lithuania, Massproductions recently explored one of Kaunas' architectural jewels—the Iljinas family house. Built in 1933, this two-story marvel was a testament to modernity and extravagance, standing tall as one of Kaunas' most exceptional homes. This iconic structure stands as one of Kaunas and Lithuania's most famous interwar modernist buildings, rightfully earning its place as a European Heritage Site.

Take Me There - Stennäs summer house, 1937 This house is all about comfort, functionality, and simplicity, with one side against a rugged cliff and the other side facing the bay. This house is all about comfort, functionality, and simplicity, with one side against a rugged cliff and the other side facing the bay. The Swedish architect Gunnar Asplund, 1885-1940, is known for his significant contributions to modernist architecture. He played an important role in shaping the architectural landscape of Sweden, and had a big impact on the development of the Stockholm International Exhibition (1930). Gunnar Asplund is most celebrated for his iconic works, The Woodland Crematorium and the Stockholm Public Library. The house has white painted, horizontally arranged wooden panels with a slim design, designed by Asplund. The panels go all the way down to the ground, beyond the base of the house. Asplund's idea was for the house to "emerge from the ground." The gable roofs are covered with wooden shingles. Reading on the dock, by the bay The outdoor toilet Spot Pouf by the fireplace The summer house is made up of two parts that together are 130 square meters. The northern part has a long shape and contains the kitchen on the top floor, followed by two small bedrooms, and finally a dining room. Starting at the front door from the wooden deck, you enter the social areas that connect inside and outside. One highlight of Gunnar Asplund’s summer home is the large, red tiled staircase next to the fireplace. It is located in the biggest room of the house "The Drawing Room", which separates this end of the house from the center that includes the dining room, kids' rooms, and at the opposite end, the kitchen and maid's room. The house is oriented strangely toward the evening light, and the exterior facades show attention to detail, unlike the uneven, rough ceilings inside. This reflects a priority on nature's impact on daily life. Tio Chair in Overseas Blue A hidden wine cellar in the floor by the open fireplace in the living room Asplund followed the functionalist principles by separating work and leisure areas. Stone pathways, bay views, and the surrounding forest create a beautiful contrast between the house and its natural surroundings. Icha Collection in Library Green in the kitchen View from one of the bedrooms Swedish sponge cake for fika (sockerkaka) "Hönsburen," a portable bamboo hallway Gunnar Asplund's work jacket, preserved on the living room wall Many of the furniture and built-in cabinets are designed by Gunnar Asplund himself. The lamp over the table in the living room is designed by Asplund for the Skandia Cinema in 1922. Breakfast in the living room Stennäs summer house fits into its surroundings. The design is warm, seamlessly integrated into the landscape, with a modern touch that respects the nature, following the Scandinavian design tradition.

TIO COLLECTION IN A NEW BOLD COLOR MASSPRODUCTIONS ADDS A NEW BOLD COLOUR INSPIRED BY THE TOKYO TOWER TO THEIR TIO COLLECTION “Pure Red is a strong red hue with a lot of confidence. We have previously worked with colours that blend into nature. This one is more urban in its appearance, inspired by the Tokyo Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge and Centre George Pompidou” - Magnus Elebäck The colour was chosen to explore a palette often used in industrial settings and has become synonymous with the brand’s core values of creativity, quality, and innovation. The Tio collection, designed by Chris Martin and originally launched in 2009, is one of Massproductions’ most popular collections. Pure Red is a heavy duty UV-resistant powder coat that is extremely durable in all weather conditions. "A color for those who are bold enough to stand out" - Magnus Elebäck  Discover Tio collection in overseas blue

MASSPRODUCTIONS - SCULPTURES FROM THE FACTORY Sven-Harrys konstmuseum launches 2023 by asking the question: “Where does the art start?” The museum has invited designers Magnus Elebäck and Chris Martin, founders of the internationally renowned Stockholm-based furniture company Massproductions to explore the link between industry and art while honing in on that mysterious “X-factor” – the element that makes good design great. Sven-Harrys konstmuseum launches 2023 by asking the question: “Where does the art start?” The museum has invited designers Magnus Elebäck and Chris Martin, founders of the internationally renowned Stockholm-based furniture company Massproductions to explore the link between industry and art while honing in on that mysterious “X-factor” – the element that makes good design great. 8 FEBRUARY - 19 MARCH.SVEN-HARRYS KONSTMUSEUM The exhibition asks questions in a series of playful, artistic and informative installations. What is that immeasurable special ingredient that distinguishes certain products? Is it pure magic, logical thinking, or a combination of both? With seven works based on seven different designs and 13 different industrial processes, Chris Martin and Magnus Elebäck take a deep dive into the complexity of manufacturing the products we take for granted in our daily lives. Massproductions – Sculptures from the Factory opens 8 February in conjunction with Stockholm Design Week 2023, and will be shown through 19 March at Sven-Harry’s Art Museum in Stockholm. "This exhibition picks up where our craft exhibition left off. In it, we showed the people behind the works, work processes that are sometimes told, sometimes shown. Now we’re going from showing the physical craftsmanship, where production is literally in your hands, and taking the step further with this exhibition to show design objects and the industrial manufacturing process – in a poetic and modern interpretation. It will be so much fun to welcome visitors to a playful and artistic design exhibition." - Dragana Kusoffsky MaksimovićCEO of Sven-Harrys "What happens when industrial manufacturing tools and processes move from the factory floor to an art gallery? Tools and processes that were originally intended to give life to beautiful objects, but that are never actually front and centre themselves. Suddenly, brutal and utilitarian items are transformed into beautiful sculptures and installations." - Chris Martin,Designer in Chief "The whole reason we started Massproductions was from our obsession with what the ultimate conditions for fantastic design are, and the answer is to find the balance between art and industry. When Sven-Harrys konstmuseum asked us for a show, it was natural to create one on this subject." - Magnus ElebäckCEO Sven-Harrys konstmuseum will be presenting its third design exhibition in a row in 2023.

SILO WINERACK TAKE PLACE IN Côte d’Azur From the yellow mimosas of winter, red poppies of spring, lavender fields of Provence, all the way to the rocky coast of Côte d'Azur - discover Silo Winerack and some of our favorite places along the way. From the yellow mimosas of winter, red poppies of spring, lavender fields of Provence, all the way to the rocky coast of Côte d'Azur - discover Silo Winerack and some of our favorite places along the way. Why Silo? When Chris Martin begins his design process, his goal is to create something that he himself would like to buy and that he cannot find on the market. With more and more wine bars opening in recent years and an increased interest in good wines, Chris wanted to create dignified storage that lives up to the same high quality as the bottles it will hold. Based on a continuous loop, Chris Martin designed the wine rack in an unbroken line of wood, where the bottles rest firmly in milled-out compartments. Silo holds its bottles securely and in a horizontal position. The bottles have a 3.87 degree inclination to keep the wine in constant contact with the cork, something that stops the cork from drying out and spoiling the wine.  Le Meranda, 4 Rue Raoul Bosio, 06300, Nice, France  Fondation Maeght, 623 Chem. des Gardettes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France   Tio Chair and Coffee table at Foundation Maeght    Silo is available in black stained ash and natural ash.  Tio Easy Chairs in Haut de Cagnes   La Part des Anges, 17 Rue Gubernatis, Nice, France "Silo is a functional and logical wine rack. But something distracted me, it was almost too logical. It felt like you should be able to lift it up into place. It almost called for handles, even though it’s really an unnecessary feature. I quickly realized that we already had the handle shape in the grooves on which the bottles rested. After that, my job was done. The handles are a subtle detail that give an added a charm to the wine rack." - Chris Martin, Designer in Chief  National Picasso Museum, Place de la Libération, Vallauris, France The rack which has a typology taken from traditional wine cellars can store 4 bottles per unit and can be stacked up to four units high.  La Canon, 23 Rue Meyerbeer, Nice, France
