Furniture of the year

The 4PM chaise longue was launched during Stockholm Design Week 2022. Initially, 4PM was about creating high comfort out of a hard material. The shape of the 4PM has its starting point in the chair’s profile, where a combination of curved and flat parts have been designed to provide the best possible comfort. 

” I want to believe that we won this award as a consequence of staying product focused and still managing to balance all the other aspects of building a furniture company from scratch. “

CHRIS MARTIN,
DESIGNER IN CHIEF 

Designer Chris Martin built several prototypes to be able to analyse the comfort, and that’s where the Self Build project started. The 4PM Self Build was released together with the production version of the chaise longue and is, among other things, a tribute to the Italian designer Enzo Mari’s ”Autoprogettazione” project where you build the furniture yourself from a freely distributed drawing and materials from your local hardware store.

“It feels fantastic to feel that what we do matters. Receiving these two awards gives us even more inspiration to continue with what we have always done, to develop furniture of extremely good quality at our own pace. “

MAGNUS ELEBÄCK,
COO FOUNDER

“I knew we had found something fun and interactive when we came up with the idea. The project has delivered many interesting hours of construction and conversation with our 4PM guests and that for me is its success.”

CHRIS MARTIN,
DESIGNER IN CHIEF 

The project has received incredible attention with over a thousand downloads of the free building instructions that can be downloaded via the company’s website. Massproductions has received photos of people building the chair from all over the world. Right now you can sign up for a 4PM Self Build session during Massproductions exhibition Massproductions – Sculptures from the Factory at Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum in Stockholm, which will be open from February 8th to March 19th 2023.

Producer of the year

Behind every award-winning piece of furniture is a strong and progressive producer. Massproductions is based on the idea of having designer and producer under the same roof and that it is in the dialogue between them where good furniture is created.

“As a furniture company, it is important to add longterm cultural values to the industry. Adding more streamlined, trendy, easy-to-sell products to our world is no longer working. I want to believe that we won this award as a consequence of staying product focused and still managing to balance all the other aspects of building a furniture company from scratch.”
