Staring with the Swedish Allmoge as inspiration, Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom from TAF have developed ‘Trotters’ for Pieces.

A small family of low tables and open cabinets, Trotters are like characters from a cartoon, or small friends. Working with proportion and twisting the balance of the expected in a cabinet or table, the attention has been focused on the often forgotten and understated foot. Playing with simple geometry, the result is both witty and surprising. By altering only the materials of the foot, the collection provides many possibilities in a very simple way.

The feet are available in wood, marble, or white glazed porcelain, made to carry tables and cabinets of wood and glass. Additional details in pearl white and orange silicone. The solid birch wood has a white-pigmented oil waxed finish and the marble used is the unique Swedish Green from Kolmården. High quality materials combined with Swedish craft and tradition.

The Trotters collection is exclusively available at NK.

A new Swedish platform dedicated to all possible objects related to our everyday spaces.

Pieces was established in 2011 and grew out of a number of ideas that we wanted to develop in a more independent and free context.Our name reflects our focus on creating individual pieces. Sometimes a single item, sometimes a family. One or many. Connected or independent. Like a child’s necklace made with an assortment of beads, we want to offer something for the inner child in all of us. Every piece will be a new narrative.

We see ourselves not only as producers but also as curators working with designers, carftspeople and artisans to create strong, personal and beautiful pieces that are long lasting in terms of quality, material and expression. In short, we are trying to deliver products with the courage, intelligence and wit to represent this vision.

If it feels good, it is good and if we like it, others might too.
