Massproductions is releasing “The Little Things”, a collection of smaller furniture pieces and accessories designed by the company’s design director Chris Martin. The collection will be premiered in an exhibition at Massproductions Works in Stockholm.

In The Little Things, Chris Martin gave special attention to smaller objects that we encounter in our everyday lives and perhaps take for granted. The collection was designed with the aim of creating objects with the ability to gild everyday life.

“It begins with a rationally produced conformity. Then it flips out the higher up we get, there will be a transition from the rational to the madness. I like that contrast in the object. The shape of the top is determined by the mood and creativity of the glassblowers that day. “

Designer in Chief

“I wanted to change the scale of the things I normally design. It turned out that it is a similar process as when I design furniture, it is the same struggle, even for smaller objects. But the reward is worth it, because as the saying goes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. “

– Chris Martin,
Designer in Chief

The collection contains eleven objects, seven of which are brand new, including mirrors, a candle holder, a door wedge, shelf, a wine rack, a vase and a small table. In addition to this, the wall hangers Hercule and Marcel as well as the pillows Friday and Saturday Cushion join the collection.

“Although all objects in The Little Things come from one and the same hand (Chris’ left hand), they have no obvious relationship. But just like with our furniture collection, it is only when you look closer and live with the products that the common thread emerges. A thread that is spun by ingenuity, function, relevance and tactility”

– Magnus Elebäck, CEO 

“I have never worked with mirrors before, and it felt tempting to take on a whole new design problem. I had heard that mirror glass was not particularly good for the environment, so I started researching what could replace this to get a reflective surface. I landed in polished stainless steel. But the material did not just become a surface, the whole design idea was based on what you can do with steel plate”
