Pause bench by Broberg & Ridderstråle for Asplund

Dezeen Showroom: Swedish studio Broberg & Ridderstråle opted for a “seemingly simple” look for the versatile Pause bench, which it has created for furniture brand Asplund.

According to Asplund, Broberg & Ridderstråle created the bench as a “zen-like” seat aimed at encouraging users to sit and rest, inspiring the name Pause.

Pause is made from a combination of lacquered oak veneer and solid oak, and is available with or without armrests. Four colour finishes are also available, includign white stain and charcoal stain.

It is intended for use in a variety of settings, such as hallways, behind a sofa or at the foot of a bed.

“We have chosen a seemingly simple but high-quality material with obvious natural details to achieve the function and tactility that we have felt was missing in the market,” said creative director Sandra Adrian Asplund.

“[It is] minimalistic and distinct with classic dignity that opens up for multiple uses in any space, public or domestic.”
