Minus Furniture Collection

Minus Furniture (NO)

2022 / 2023

The Minus Chair is now the Minus Furniture Collection. We are excited to launch the full range of furniture during Designers Saturday Oslo 2023. From single seater stools to long benches, tables small enough for anyone's kitchen or large enough for dinner parties with friends.

Minus Furniture is a Norwegian furniture producer designing for beyond zero, or more accurately put towards net carbon negative. The Minus Collection is designed with a 100 year perspective and a circular design approach. Our relationship with Minus started with an email asking if it was possible to make furniture that stores more carbon than it emits, that creates more energy than used and at the same time sustain biodiversity?

Minus is based on a super compact value chain using only local materials. That means the chair will mainly be made from softwood like pine and the manufacturing needs to utilise the log in an effective way. The components must be well dimensioned and rational to manufacture. Many of the parts are therefore straight/linear and the solid build has all wooden joints. The elements in contact with your body are prioritised creating both a visual identity for a chair like this.

Finally Minus is aiming towards increasing the lifespan of both the whole product and the individual components by being reparable and reusable. This means creating the infrastructure and incentives needed to actually make this happen.
