OFFECCT combines the Swedish word 'offentlig'—public space—with the English 'affect,' symbolising the resonance and connective power of furniture in shared spaces. Founded in 1990 by Kurt Tingdal and Anders Englund, OFFECCT has nurtured a belief that effective products and meaningful spaces emerge from a co–creative design process between manufacturers, designers, and architects. The brand empowers collaborators to explore concepts that stretch from radical to practical, merging visionary ideas with meticulous execution. Following through by supporting architects in activating and applying OFFECCT products in their own innovative projects. Since 2017, Offecct has been part of Flokk.

As the modern workspace and living environment trend towards open–plan designs, the need for versatile acoustic solutions have regained momentum. OFFECCT has teamed up with 8 designers part of MA Product Design from ECAL, led by course tutor Camille Blin to reinterpret the acoustic room divider. Acoustics has been a steady part of the OFFECCT's portfolio since the early 2000s and it is time for this category to question its own versatility and its influence on the well–being of our workplaces. How will these reimagined room dividers reshape office environments and serve contemporary work habits? Come and explore these proposals amongst a selection of OFFECCT's newest products.

ZEITRAUM is more than furniture. ZEITRAUM is an attitude toward life and the things that surround us. The objects that accompany us should have character, withstand everyday use, and adapt to changing circumstances. ZEITRAUM stands for a reduced formal language and a sustainable design approach, combined with experience and passion in working with solid wood. For us, the craft of woodworking is a jewel that we preserve and continuously develop through new technologies. We focus our senses on functionality and quality, with a love for detail.

Kaikale is an India-based furniture brand rooted in local craftsmanship and people-driven making. In collaboration with the Scandinavian architect Alexander Mihel, the work brings together traditional Indian carpentry and Scandinavian design principles. Kaikale x Alexander Mihel presents a furniture collection developed over 2,5 years through a hands-on collaborative process. The collection is made using carpentry-based methods, working with established hardwoods and also experimenting with non-forest timber such as coconut timber. In India, the coconut tree has traditionally been fully utilised, with every part used. The furniture continues this approach by giving coconut wood a long life as durable, long-lasting pieces.
