To mark the occasion, the Vandalorum museum is presenting an exhibition featuring Bruno Mathsson and 38 notable Nordic designers who have received the prize since 1984. We’re honored to be part of this exhibition, with our Designer-in-Chief, Chris Martin, presenting the Woodwerk Chair. The Bruno Mathsson Prize, established in 1984, stands as the largest design prize in the Nordic region. This year marked its 40th anniversary, celebrated through an extraordinary exhibition that brought together decades of Scandinavian design excellence. The event paid tribute to Mathsson’s forward-thinking legacy and his vision of creating a brighter future through innovation. Woodwerk: A Chair Full of ProgressFeatured in the exhibition was Woodwerk, a chair designed by Chris Martin. The design has its origins in an idea from 30 years ago, which has been refined over time with new techniques and insights. Switching from laminated to solid wood during production made the chair both stronger and more beautiful, showcasing the power of blending craftsmanship with technology.Woodwerk was launched in September 2024. Discover the Woodwerk Chair A gathering of creative mindsThe exhibition brought together some of the most influential Nordic designers of the past four decades. Workshops led by this year’s winners — Fredrik Paulsen, Jenny Nordberg, and Finn Ahlgren — created a space for sharing ideas and exploring new approaches. It was a great opportunity for designers to connect and exchange ideas.

He was an innovator in all aspects, being a jogger before jogging really became a thing, building a special bed for sleeping outside in the fresh air. I’d like to adopt that kind of thinking to both design and life!"- Chris MartinDesigner-in-Chief About the Mathsson FoundationThe Bruno Mathsson Prize is awarded by the Karin and Bruno Mathsson Foundation in Sweden.

MMMTV at 3daysofdesign 2024 MMMTV is a tribute to the 90s television culture, an era that has significantly influenced many of the products in our collection Fifteen years since its launch in 2009, the experiment that we know as Massproductions continues to thrive. Our mission to deliver exciting, thought-provoking, and relevant furniture with lasting appeal to a wide audience remains steadfast.At 3daysofdesign 2024, we presented our latest pieces: the 'Patch' sofa system and the 'Woodwerk' chair. These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to merging form, function and aesthetic appeal. Alongside these new products, we also showcased a curated selection from our back catalogue, highlighting the evolution and enduring relevance of our designs. "Please rewind! Here at 3daysofdesign we’ve created this vaguely nostalgic installation inspired by the time when the VHS allowed us to break free from linear TV. Which of course also allowed us spend a lot more time in the sofa."- Magnus Elebäck, CEO and co-founder at Massproductions The MMMTV installation was a nostalgic nod to the 90s television era, highlighting the TV dinner concept. Visitors could enjoy a VHS-based installation while lounging in the comfort of the Patch sofa system, the best companion for modern TV dinners. The versatile configurations of Patch make it ideal for enjoying both entertainment and food, capturing comfort and togetherness. The Woodwerk chair was previewed. And as any furniture nerd knows, curved backrests don’t mesh well with strict, geometric wooden chairs. Woodwerk addresses this conundrum with a direct and pragmatic approach: the chair maintains its formal integrity without sacrificing comfort. By rotating through its back legs, the wooden elements of Woodwerk unite in a harmonious manner, solving a problem that has been on the mind of its designer, Chris Martin, for years. During the week we launched the Buffer book end in pink in collaboration with the store Storm in Copenhagen. This special edition features pink, the signature color of Storm. "We have always been very open and curious in the way we think and work. An open mind towards different types of companies and new ways of collaborating has been one of the stimulating factor for us a company. The year of 2024 we’ve dedicated to our 30 years anniversary so naturally we wanted to celebrate this by working together with our dear neighbors who share the same passion for design", says Rasmus Storm, Owner & Founder of Storm."- Rasmus Storm, Owner & Founder of Storm "Above all a sofa system should be something you look forward to sitting in, a place of refuge and comfort to enjoy with family, friends and strangers. I believe we have captured that feeling with Patch in its various and limitless configurations."- Chris Martin, Designer-in-Chief and founder of Massproductions Photographed by Ditte Auguste Mørkholt. The installation was designed by Massproductions together with Figur. Thank you for visiting us!

BUFFER BOOKEND 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.
