Sväva



Constructed from locally sourced Swedish birch, Sväva (meaning to float in Swedish) draws from the grounded clarity of the Nordic forest. 

Its blocky, brutalist form asserts presence, while caster wheels subtly shift that weight into motion. Whether in a home or work environment, Sväva offers a warm and honest presence with an unexpected sense of agility.
